[Vegan Braised Celeriac — Celery Root]
...Julia says that
Celeriac, a delicious winter vegetable, is not nearly as common in American markets as it should be...
...and based on how difficult it is to find...I definitely agree...
...since I wasn't thrilled with the raw version of celeriac...I'm happy to try a cooked version...
...you start by peeling the celeriac...
...which is not super easy to do...
...cut it into a 1/2 inch dice...
...drop it into a saucepan of boiling water...
...and cook for 5 minutes...
...mince some onions...
...and then cook the onions and bacon in a casserole without browning...I used vegan bacon bits...
...then arrange the celeriac in the casserole...
...and spread the onions and bacon on top...
...pour over some vegan bouillon...and bring to a simmer on the stovetop...
...then cover with buttered foil and bake for an hour...
...the celeriac is done when it is tender...
...we served it with beans and greens and cornbread...as I thought it was kind of like turnips...and I definitely prefer the cooked celeriac...still not my favorite food...and these are the only two recipes in MtAoFC...so I won't need to go searching for it again...
