SAUTEED CELERY ROOT

All root vegetables can be sautéed.  However, because of their density they must be cut into thin slices or a small dice.  If not, the exteriors will burn before the center is cooked.

Ingredients

1 lb. Celery root cut into small dice
Olive oil as needed
Butter as needed
Chopped parsley to taste
Salt and pepper to taste.
 

Directions

Peel and cut the celery root into a small dice. 

Heat a sauté pan and add a combination of olive oil and butter.  Sauté the celery root until soft, finishing with parsley, salt and pepper.

For another twist, deglaze the pan with a little bit of cognac and add a little cream at the very end. 

Or, make glazed celery root. Place the diced celery root in a sauté pan with butter and a teaspoon of sugar. Add enough water to come halfway up the vegetable. Simmer until the celery root is soft and the water and sugar have reduced to a syrupy glaze, about fifteen minutes. Finish with herbs, salt and pepper. 

You can substitute other root vegetables for the sautéed or glazed versions of the celery root or do combinations.
