mmmm maded mash (potato & 1/5 of the celeriac, 3 cloves of garlic sauted in butter, a little cheese), was delish :jam filled with optimism that 5kg will be easy to use....

Has any one opened their huge tin of Celeriac from Approved Foods yet? :money:

My order arrived this afternoon & they (yep all 5 of them:rotfl:) are lurking in a box in my living room as my kitchen isnt big enough to store them :eek:

So did it come mashed or cubed or what? That might give me an idea of what to suggest with it!

I too have a 5Kg tin. I did know it was that size. I just thought that if its a 1p then I might as well try it. IF its not any good I have only lost 1p. If its good then its a bonus.
I shall leave it for a day that I batch cook though!.
I think that I will mash it with potatoes for shepherds pie, and I will also try a creamy bake, with courgettes and onions, possibly tomatoes if I have them at the time.
If there is any left then the standby soup I suppose!.

I have also bought some Soymix for making Sausages? and casserole mixes for about 50p/ So I expect to have a freezer full of meals very soon.

Hubby loves making rosti (what on earth is the plural of that!) & is looking at the tins lovingly hehe
Didnt think about adding it to mash - I bet that will be really nice!
We had 'normal' Celeriac last weekend, roasted with the potatoes & it was delish (I usually just add it to soup) reminded me a little of swede or turnip - not that I have had those roasted - tell a lie I roasted a couple of turnips too last week - they were also scrummy but not as good as roasted celeriac :rotfl:

Rosti would be fabulous just make sure it's dry ( between teatowels with a pot on top.)

Thanks Jackie! Good point, how long will I need to drain it for do you think?
