Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 celeriac
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 300 ml milk
  • Pinch of grated nutmeg
  • Pinch of ground ginger
  • 1 knob of butter or 1 Tbsp single cream
  • 1 handful of parsley chopped

  1. Peel the celery, cut into small chunks. Put these in a saucepan. Add the milk, garlic and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 minutes over a low heat until soft. Drain the milk, but reserve it.

  3. Stir in the spices and parsley. Taste and season with salt & pepper to your liking.
  4. Serve warm.
