Creamy Celery Wild Mushrooms (Printable Recipe)

Silky celery meets wild mushrooms in a creamy, elegant creation with fresh herbs and savory cheese.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Fresh Produce

01 - 1 large celery root (celeriac), peeled and diced into small, uniform cubes
02 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
03 - A handful of assorted wild mushrooms (porcini, shiitake, or oyster), cleaned and cut into large bite-sized pieces
04 - A handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
05 - Black cumin sprouts, for garnish

→ Pantry & Dairy

06 - 2 tablespoons clarified butter, divided
07 - 240 ml dry white wine
08 - 250 ml vegetable broth
09 - 4 tablespoons whipping cream (30% fat)
10 - 1 piece hard Italian cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Romano), finely grated
11 - Salt, to taste
12 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Clean wild mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Cut into generous bite-sized pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon clarified butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden brown and moisture has evaporated, around 5–7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
02 - Peel the celery root and cut into thick slices, then into thin strips, then small cubes for even texture. Add remaining clarified butter to the same pan. Once melted and foaming, add diced celeriac. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened, then add chopped onion. Cook together until onion is translucent and fragrant.
03 - Pour in vegetable broth, stirring gently. Add the dry white wine and simmer until the alcohol has evaporated, about 3–4 minutes. Pour in whipping cream and stir until integrated, developing a creamy consistency.
04 - Return sautéed mushrooms to the pan. Simmer mixture for 2–3 minutes until flavors meld. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
05 - Fold in grated hard Italian cheese for added richness. Stir in finely chopped parsley just before serving for vibrant color and freshness.
06 - Transfer creamy celeriac risotto to serving bowls. Garnish with black cumin sprouts for an elegant aromatic finish. Serve immediately while hot.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Select firm, fresh celery root for optimal texture and flavor.
02 - Allow each ingredient time to develop its flavor—avoid rushing the sauté steps.
03 - For best consistency, the mixture should be creamy but not runny.
04 - Taste and adjust the seasoning at each stage of cooking.
05 - Use premium wild mushrooms for the fullest flavor.
