Celeriac Gratin

Celeriac Gratin (4)

Celeriac is an unappreciated vegetable.

Sure. It’s a little ugly. And it’s certainly not winning any beauty awards. But looks don’t matter…right?

Celeriac Gratin (1)

With a little scrubbing and some light trimming this little root vegetable turns out to be a beauty.

I decided the celeriac would make an excellent gratin so I thinly sliced it and gave it a whirl.

Luckily, it turned out delicious. You should try it too….Enjoy!!!

    I’ve never had celeriac before… but I’m all for baking things with cream and parmesan :) I’ll have to give it a try soon!

      It sorta tastes like very mild celery. The texture is similar to a turnip. Give it a try :)

    I wish I could learn to like celeriac but celery makes me gag and so does it….it’s probably the only serious food aversion I have. I’m certain, though, this would be equally delicious with parsnips or potatoes!

    I think that celeriac is one of the few vegetables I haven’t tried. But I’ve seen it at the grocery store before – looks like I need to pick some up next time to try this!

    I’ve been wanting to try celeriac. Plus, throw on cream and cheese and I’m sure anything would taste amazing!
