What Is Celeriac?
I was first introduced to celeriac when I signed up for a CSA box. I opened one of my early boxes and was like uhhh….why did they send me this root and what the heck do I do with it?!?! So, if you’re having those same feelings, then here’s a quick explanation. Celeriac is a root vegetable, also called celery root. It’s in the same family as celery, but is different plant. It’s not real pretty and you have to peel it before you use it.
How To Peel Celeriac
Sooo…once you check out what Celeriac looks like, you’re going to be like where do you even start to peel this thing?! Don’t get scared. It’s really not that bad. Promise. Here’s my technique for peeling celeriac. First, I cut the bottom and top off to make flat surfaces. This helps with the peeling immensely. Set your celeriac down on one of the flat ends and use a pairing knife with a downward motion to peel the skin and knobby parts off. Once you make your way around the entire celeriac, flip it over onto the other flat end and repeat to get the rest of the bits off. That’s it!
