Celery Root Puree with Dukkah

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp salted butter
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 shallot, roughly chopped
• 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
• 1 medium celery root, peeled and diced (5 - 6 cups)
• 1 1/2 cups milk (2%), plus more if needed.
• Kosher salt to taste*
• Dukkah Nut and Spice Mix (link below)*

Directions

1. Heat butter and oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Cook shallots, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add celery root, and milk and bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce to medium-low, cover and cook until celery root is fork tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Transfer to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping sides as needed, about 2 minutes. Add a splash more milk if needed until puree is the consistency of thin mashed potatoes. Season with salt to taste.
4. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve topped with Dukkah Nut and Spice Mix.
