Last night was cold. Like appendage numbingly cold. I guess it should be expected, it is December 1st today and I live in Canada. But on those nights when it is disgustingly cold outside all I want is stew. There is something so rustic about it and I like to picture pioneers cooking over a cauldron stirring their stew while I eat mine.
When you think about it, stew is probably one of the original Paleo recipes-meat, broth, root veggies. It is almost impossible to mess it up. Last night I picked up some beef and mushrooms to start off the stew. I had thick cut bacon, carrots, and some red wine at home. I also wanted a carb to serve with the stew and when I stumbled upon celeriac I scooped it up eagerly. If you have not tried cooking with it, you should. I believe the celery stalk is the most overrated vegetable and I rarely eat it, but the root is another story entirely. It is very versatile-roast it, puree it and you’ll have something similar to mashed potatoes!
