Creamy celeriac dip

These are the three celeriacs Josh and I got last week from our CSA. They look like something out of Lord of the Rings which will come to life and attack your face, but these ones got turned into a nice dip that Josh and some friends I tested it on said was better than hummus.


Peel the celeriac with a sturdy knife, cube and place into a pot with barely enough water to cover, salt and about a teaspoon of turmeric. Bring the water to a boil and cook the celeriac until it is soft. Spoon the pieces out of the pot with a slotted spoon and place into a food processor with the metal blade. Add a teaspoon or so of salt and puree until very smooth. (Drink the cooking water... it's actually quite good, and full of antioxidants!)

Serve warm with crackers. Enjoy!
