Post 137: Garlic Parsley Celeriac mash

Well, it's another sunday and it's another roast. Oh course it was. This was pretty unremarkable, but given my fragile post-saturday night cavorting it was easy. So at least that was good. Here the little beauty is: chicken (bit o leg for me), roast carrots & parnsips, cabbage, mash and then some garlic parsley celeriac mash.

A few weeks ago, I invented this celeriac convection. This week I feel I perfected it, raising the level of celeriac from just-about-edible to almost-nice. I started with a huge celeriac, but by the time I got the knobbly bits peeled there was only a cereal bowl's worth. So, recipe for this was:
- roast one bulb of garlic for an hour
- boil celeriac until soft
- mash celeriac and then I used a sieve and a big spoon to get rid of some water
- I then added in some parsley and the garlic and mashed a bit more.
- I then added a knob of butter.

The squidging of the water out of the celeriac gave it a better texture than first time around.

The only other thing of note was that I managed to get a £7.82 chicken out of the M&S dine for a tenner deal. A new record high!
