Recipe information
Yield
Serves 2 generously
Ingredients
a 1-pound celery root (sometimes called celeriac)
2 large carrots
4 large shallots
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 pound green beans
Preparation
With a sharp knife peel celery root and cut into 1-inch pieces. Diagonally cut carrots into 1-inch-thick pieces. Quarter shallots lengthwise. In a 2-quart heavy saucepan melt butter over moderately low heat. Add celery root, carrots, shallots, salt, and pepper to taste, stirring to coat vegetables with butter, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. While root vegetables are cooking, trim beans. Stir beans into root vegetables and cook, covered, stirring once or twice, until all vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
