celeariac help needed please

[geordiegirl]

right me lovelies ...... ..i bought one , now what ????

how do i peel it first ??? like a turnip ?

i would like to try making chips with it ,and maybe some mash on sunday

help needed please

its a really ugly looking thing , would never have bought one before doing low carb

 

[Jim]

LOL, they are damned ugly.

You'll need to peel it well, they have a very thick tough skin, after that you can do anything you like. Treat it like potato or swede and stuff.

 

[Mets]

I've never heard of this to be honest. I think i'll check it out in the supermarket tonight. If I treat it like a potato, does that mean literally? I.e I can boil, roast, mash etc? What does it taste like?

 

[Jim]

It's hard to describe the taste really, sort of halfway between a turnip and a swede. I love celeriac chips.

 

[geordiegirl]

to make the chips jim , do i just peel then fry ????? seems to easy LOL

 

[cherl889]

Let me know what it tastes like, i'll give it a try.

Jim are you sure that's not a brain you've photographed LOL? I've never seen one of those in the supermarket! What do they taste like - might have to go this a go. :8855:

Can I have Pepperamis on Induction - they only have 0.6g of carbs a stick?

[girlygirl1]

i just bought a can of celeriac in vinegar. Not sure what to do with them!

 

[geordiegirl]

well ....i'm made the chips and they were nice .........had a bit sweetness to them , but they are a good alternative to potatoes

it was a mare to peel and chop thou , and it looked horrid but don't let that put you off

 

[Jim]

Pickled celeriac, I've never heard of that girly, what's the carb count?
