Leek, Potato And Celeriac Pie

[poliphilo]

I seem to have invented a recipe...

(Celeriac is my latest culinary discovery. It tastes very like celery but it's a root vegetable so the texture is entirely different)

Leek, Potato And Celeriac Pie

Make a white sauce- add a generous teaspoon of whole grain mustard.

Cut a large potato, a large leek and a sizeable piece of celeriac into small chunks and simmer in the sauce until soft. Season with salt and pepper and add a generous scattering of coriander seed.

Transfer mixture to pie dish and cover with pastry.

Cook until pastry is done.

Interesting note: if you are looking at historical recipes, most times that they are talking about "celery", they actually mean "celeriac". Also a decent amount of Eastern European cuisine.

Apparently, there have been a decent number of cultures throughout history that have considered the root of the plant to be the edible part, more than the stalk.

Interesting.

I wonder what caused celeriac to fall out of fashion.
