Re: The Bane of my Life! - THE SWEDE.

I use one of these to deal with the peel/skin :-

and a surgically sharp knife to cut/dice. No problem.

This makes interesting reading:-

Sure! Although I don't have a recipe as such but I can tell you what I did I only use recipes for baking or puds where weights and measures could be vital. I still end up tweaking them half the time though


Cut up the celeriac into cubes (try not to swear at it)
I used a pretty large celeriac so I roughly chopped 2 medium size onions
2 medium size carrots
1 large potato
2 large cloves of garlic

Sweat all veg gently in melted butter (has to be butter for me, not any of these lookylikies invented by men in white coats in a laboratory that apparently are supposed to be good for you )
Don't be tempted to rush this stage, you don't want to colour the veg, just sweat it so all the juices come out. It could take half an hour or more, this is what gives the soup most of its flavour.

When the veg was pretty soft I then used 3 Knorr stock cubes (it was a big pot full, would normally use 2, I think it was 2 veg and one chicken cube), covered all with boiling water and simmer gently for half an hour or so until everything is soft and cooked through.

Used a stick blender to purée till smooth. Throw in about half a cup of double cream. Check seasoning.
That's it!

The best thing about swedes is that you offset the calories with the energy used to prepare the dratted things!
