The 118th edition of Weekend Herb Blogging 27.04.2021 ** is hosted by Claudia from Fool for Food 20.09.2023 **.
This week I write about the healty benefits of mashed root vegetables. They make a great alternative to potato mash. Celeriac is rich in vitamin C and folate, which is good for the heart. Carrots are a super source of beta carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. They’re also high in phosphorus and silicon, which are important bone building nutrients. The mashed celeriac and carrots are accompanied with beans and mustard chicken.

Directions
1. Slice the celeriac and carrots in a food processor, then put in a pan and pour over boiling water to cover. Add a little salt, then cover and boil for 10-12 mins until tender.
2. Meanwhile, cut the chicken into strips and toss in the flour, salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the chicken and fry quickly on all sides until lightly browned. Stir in the mustard and stock, then bring to the boil. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 mins until the chicken is cooked and the sauce thickened.
3. Drain the veg and whizz to a rough mash. Divide between four plates and spoon over the chicken and sauce. Serve with green beans.

I’ve never had this
I’ve never tasted this, but I would like to try it. I think the mustard chicken sounds delicious too.
Two recipes in one!
I love celeriac, but mostly use it soups. My main complaint about it is that it is hard to peel. Any tips on that department?
The chicken preparation sounds fantastic. I love mustard, and I am sure to try it.

I like celariac, too. But I don’t often buy it because I don’t use it all. I need more recipes….thank you, Ulrike! ;-)
