But once you’ve taken the leap of faith, you will be rewarded by its transformation from lowly root to magnificent meal.
What is celeriac and how to serve it
Are celeriac and celery the same thing? Yes and no. Celeriac is the unlikely root from which tall green celery stems grow. And do they taste alike? Personally, I don’t think so. While raw celery is fresh and watery, in a thirst quenching way, I find celeriac more robust. It’s nutty and earthy with a hint of anise. I often serve celeriac remoulade in place of coleslaw. Especially when I’m trying to make an impression or just want to treat myself. It works as a picnic side, or just on a plate with cold deli meats, or cheese, and crusty bread. Simple, light, infinitely elegant. It is truly astonishing how versatile this unfortunately ugly vegetable is. As well as raw, it can be eaten cooked. It’s flexible enough to fit any diet; low-carb, low cal, dairy-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan. And is fairly budget-friendly.
