Celery Root, Kohlrabi, and Apple Purée

This elegant celeriac, kohlrabi and apple purée offers a sophisticated twist on traditional mashed vegetables. The earthy, nutty notes of the celeriac and kohlrabi are beautifully balanced by the subtle acidity of the Granny Smith apple, creating a complex flavour profile that is both savoury and refreshing. Unlike a standard mash, this purée is passed through a ricer to achieve a remarkably light, velvety texture that feels truly indulgent on the plate.

As a versatile vegetarian side dish, it makes a wonderful accompaniment to a festive roast or a simple grilled main course. The inclusion of russet potatoes ensures a creamy consistency, while a final garnish of fresh chervil adds a delicate, aniseed-like finish. It is a practical choice for entertaining, as it can be prepared a day in advance and gently reheated without losing its smooth consistency or vibrant taste.

Ingredients for Celery Root, Kohlrabi, and Apple Purée

  • 900g celery root (celeriac), peeled, cut into 3/4" cubes

  • Kosher salt

  • 675g kohlrabi, peeled, cut into 1/2" cubes

  • 450g russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1" cubes

  • 1 Granny Smith apple (230g ), peeled, cored, cut into 1" cubes

  • 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • Fresh chervil sprigs

  • A potato ricer or food mill

Add celery root to a large pot of boiling salted water. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 11-13 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer celery root to a large bowl. Return water to a boil; repeat with kohlrabi, then potatoes, cooking each separately until tender, 14-16 minutes for kohlrabi and 10-12 minutes for potatoes; add to bowl with celery root.

Meanwhile, bring apple and 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a small saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until apple falls apart, 6-8 minutes, adding water by tablespoonfuls if dry.

Working in batches, pass celery root, kohlrabi, potatoes, and apple through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Pass mixture through ricer again if a smoother texture is desired. Stir in butter. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and chill. Rewarm in microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Garnish with chervil sprigs.
