French Celery Root Puree

Puree de Celei-Rave aux Pommes- Pureed Celery Root with Apples

This side dish is a wonderful light replacement for traditional mashed potatoes. The apple flavor is barely noticeable while adding moisture to eliminate the need for butter and cream. This dish is an unexpected treat.
