This was good but how do you all get root purée’s to be smooth and not grainy. I have a fine mesh strainer but when I use that it comes out as liquid. Advice appreciated!!!

  1. Cook it till super soft and a bit of xathan gum helps

    Dude, wipe your camera lense. This looks like a soft core from the 80s

    Also, puree is too grainy/gritty and that sauce is too loose

    You didn’t cook it and blend it long enough for it to emulsify.

    Add diced celery root to heavy bottom pot > add enough cream to cover > bring to light boil and reduce to simmer > cook until fork tender/cream reduced > add celery root and cream to blender (hot) > blend until smooth > strain through mesh strainer > season to taste

    You could go a step further to small dice a bunch of cold butter and add piece by piece while blending the puree for a fuller bodied emulsified puree. Could also add a some sprigs of thyme and spices to it while cooking then remove before blending for more flavour.

    You don’t need xantham gum. That’s a cop out for those who can’t make a proper puree.
