Ingredients
800 g celeriac
1 large potato
150 ml vegan crème fraîche
1 medium size shallot
40 g almond
2 tbs vegan butter
200 ml veggie stock
thyme, salt, pepper to taste
1 ts extra virgin olive oil
1 small handful of each/person vegan cheddar and smoked cheese
Garam masala seasoning, to taste
Directions
1. Carefully wash the celery and peel it with a potato peeler, then cut it into thick slices and then into chunks. Peel and slice the potato the same way.
2. In a saucepan, gently brown the chopped shallot in vegan butter over medium heat.
3. When it has become transparent, add the celery and potato, cook stirring for a few minutes. Season with salt, pepper, thyme and cover with the vegetable stock.
4. Cook for about 30 minutes, until the vegetables have become soft. When the veggies are soft enough, blend the mixture with a hand blender.
5. Add the vegan crème fraîche to get a silky result. Transfer in serving dishes and top with diced vegan cheddar and smoked cheese, the toasted and coarsely chopped almonds and a drizzle of Garam masala seasoning.
