Lucy’s creamed celeriac mash with fennel fronds pesto

Here is Lucy, a member of our Tuesday packing crew. Eager to come up with healthy and easy cooking ideas, she made for us this delicious celeriac mash. The fennel pesto is a bonus and goes very well with it. Can’t recommend it enough!

Ingredients for the mash:

  • 1 head celeriac
  • 1 small onion or shallot

Ingredients for the pesto:

  • 80-100g fennel fronds
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • handful of parsley
  • lemon juice

From the cupboard:

  • Double cream
  • salt and pepper
  • cumin
  • walnuts
  • cheddar
  • Olive oil

Method:

  1. Peel the celeriac and chop into cubes. Steam or boil with the onions until cooked.
  2. Drain all but a small amount of cooking liquid
  3. Blend with double cream, cumin, salt and pepper.
  4. Using blender whizz together all the ingredients for the pesto plus cheddar, walnuts and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and serve on a bed of celeriac mash.

Bon appetit!
