Comments on: Can You Really Dislike A Gratin? — Pouvez-vous vraiment ne pas aimer le gratin ? http://www.latartinegourmande.com/2006/11/03/can-you-really-dislike-a-gratin-pouvez-vous-vraiment-ne-pas-aimer-le-gratin/ In Love with Beautiful Food Thu, 28 Aug 2008 07:46:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: La Tartine Gourmande » Blog Archive » A True Love Affair, Almost — Une vraie histoire d’amour, enfin presque http://www.latartinegourmande.com/2006/11/03/can-you-really-dislike-a-gratin-pouvez-vous-vraiment-ne-pas-aimer-le-gratin/#comment-44084 La Tartine Gourmande » Blog Archive » A True Love Affair, Almost — Une vraie histoire d’amour, enfin presque Mon, 18 Dec 2006 19:53:25 +0000 http://www.latartinegourmande.com/2006/11/03/can-you-really-dislike-a-gratin-pouvez-vous-vraiment-ne-pas-aimer-le-gratin/#comment-44084 [...] Since I have always enjoyed to prepare celery root, whether in salads, soups, steamed, in gratin, braisé or mashed, I was pretty happy with my experiment. Can you really resist any type of vegetable mash? I can’t. A smooth warm texture melting in the mouth? Ah yes, please! If kids like it, their reason is good. While searching for ideas for the holidays, I imagined this accompaniment dish. Extremely simple to make, with a twist that makes it stand out from the more traditional vegetable mash. I cooked the celery root in milk infused with fresh vanilla and thyme, and added fresh pomegranate seeds. Like many root vegetables, celery root has natural sweetness that matched perfectly vanilla. As I remembered a bottle of pomegranate molasses bought a while ago, I thought this celery mash was going to be a good place to make use of it. Needless to say that it worked as a charm. The more acidic touch brought by the sauce balanced the sweetness of the vegetable mash whereas the fresh pomegranate seeds were a good contrast in texture, bringing crunchiness into the smoothness of the mash. I was pretty excited to have a dish that would be a great addition to one of the holidays menus. I cannot wait to try it again!
