Celery Root Hash

This bizarre-looking root is actually quite delicious! Don't be fooled by its knobby, Harry Potter-ish appearance. It's available in most grocery stores in the muggle world but unless you have real magic powers you are going to have to shred the heck out of it in a food processor. Now get those blades goin' and get this thing cookin!

You will need a chef's knife, paring knife, food processor with a grater, frying pan and vegetable peeler.

Ingredients:

1 large celery root, peeled and grated

½ onion, diced

dash of salt and pepper

1 T sage

2 T olive oil or non-gmo canola oil

1 clove garlic

Don't be scared. You can do this!

Directions:

Start by peeling the whole celery root with a vegetable peeler, and then cut off any remaining knobby parts with a paring knife. Next, use a chef's knife or paring knife to cut the celery root into pieces small enough to be run through your food processor. Set your food processor on the largest grating setting you have and grate all of the celery root.

Next, dice your onion into very small pieces.

Begin sauteing your celery root in about 2 T of oil on medium heat. Add the sage and salt and pepper to taste. Saute for 10 minutes, slowly stirring the celery root in the pan.

Now, add the onion and garlic and turn the heat up to medium high until the celery root begins to brown. Let the celery root brown and darken on one side, then turn it so that the other side can darken. Most of the celery root should be browned after about 10 minutes of cooking.

Serve hot with gravy.

*Celery root is also really good in Cajun food and Thanksgiving dressing/stuffing.
