Ingredients
- 1 kg celeriac head, peeled and cut in chunks
- 500 ml milk
- 200 g unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- sea salt, pepper
- grated truffle, optional
Instructions
Place celeriac in a pan with the milk and water to just cover.
Add salt and cook until soft, testing with a knife.
Drain the celeriac, put back in the pan and mash, adding the butter piece by piece.
Season to taste and stir through truffle, if preferred.
Note
• Philippe believes cooking in milk helps to retain celeriac’s beautiful pale colour.
