Ingredients

  • 2 baseball sized celery roots, peeled and cut into a 3/4" dice (approximately 3 1/2 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • juice of half a lemon
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • paprika

Instructions

  1. Place celery root dice in a stock pot and cover with cold water. Bring up to a boil uncovered and boil 13-15 minutes until the celery root is very tender.
  2. Using a slotted spoon, transfer celery root into a blender, reserving the cooking liquid. Add butter and let melt. Add garlic cloves, tahini, cumin, cayenne, salt, and lemon juice.
  3. Ladle in a bit of the cooking liquid and blend. Continue adding cooking liquid a little bit at a time until desired texture is achieved. It took about 2 full ladles (of a 4 oz. ladle) to get to the puree I desired.
  4. Transfer to a bowl and make a well in the center. Pour a little extra virgin olive oil in the well and sprinkle hummus with paprika. I love to eat this warm or cold, so serve as you like!
