Now let me tell you about celeriac, and why I love it so much.

I love the mild taste, that it is a great substitute for potatoes and other starchy roots. Amazingly celeriac only has a 5 percent carbohydrate content, and very low glycemic index. One cup of celeriac mash only contains about 42 calories!

This lovely meat-free casserole is nearly a whole meal on its own creamy, cheesy self. It goes great served with some sliced tomatoes and if you must absolutely have meat, it pairs well with chicken roasts.

Buen provecho!
