Ingredients

1 to 2 celery roots (about 3/4 pound total), peeled and cut into small chunks

1 tablespoon white rice

1 garlic clove, peeled and smashed

1 1/2 cups low-fat (1 percent) milk

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 tablespoon butter

Preparation

Place celery roots, rice, garlic, and milk in a medium saucepan; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook until roots are tender, 15 to 20 minutes (milk may look curdled).

Pour contents of pan into a food processor; add butter, and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with Lamb Chops with Mint Sauce and Mushrooms.
