    Why we ❤️ it

    Now let me tell you about the Creole celery root, and why I like it so much: I love its mild flavor, which is a great substitute for potatoes and other starchy roots.

    This root, which is produced in the mountains of Constanza, has become a very popular root vegetable in our country, and with good reason. It is extremely versatile and can be used in many ways. And now you can make it as a casserole (pastelón).

    About this recipe

    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 these chicken rolls.

    This recipe yields 6 servings.

    Buen provecho!
