Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Peel and cut celery root into 1/2-inch cubes, and promptly add to lemon water to keep from turning brown. Drain celery just before using. In large saucepan with steamer basket, add cauliflower and celery root; steam until tender, about 15 minutes. Reserve about 1/2 cup steaming liquid.

  2. 2

    Add steamed vegetables to food processor container, add butter or oil and salt, then process until smooth. (Add steaming liquid if purée is too thick.) Season to taste. Serve hot.
