# How to prepare celeriac

## The essentials

Celeriac has a thick skin that comes off with a knife, not a peeler. Grated raw as a remoulade, mashed with potatoes, or in dice in a soup.

## Choosing it

Heavy, firm, with no soft parts.

## Preparing it

Cut the top and the bottom to get two flat sides, stand it flat, and remove the skin with a knife following the curve. Rub the flesh with lemon or put it in lemon water, otherwise it turns black.

## Cutting it for the dish

- Grated, for a remoulade.
- In dice, for a soup or a mash.
- In thick slices, for the oven.

## How long it takes

Three minutes.

## Storing it

Whole, in the fridge, two to three weeks. Cut, the cut side under film, a week.

## Make it tonight
