CELERIAC PUREE

I love the root of the celery plant ( celeriac ) and want more people to use it . It should be easily found at this time of the season in our supermarkets .. ( but who knows what is available from week to week any more ?) So to make this celeriac puree you need a 1 kg celeriac peeled and chopped and placed in a medium saucepan with 500ml of chicken stock . Bring to a simmer , cover and continue to simmer till the celeriac is tender ( about 30 minutes ). Drain. Now add 125 ml of cream and using a stick blender process until smooth . Serve sprinkled with chives .... This is a great alternative to mashed potatoes and a great accompianment with seafood , chicken and beef .
