Celery Root And Apple Puree

I just watched barefoot contessa and ina made this wonderful recipe that i think would be very good for our christmas eve dinner with the family. From her barefoot contessa back to basics thanksgiving countdown 2008 show on food network.

Steps

In a shallow pot or large saute pan over medium heat melt butter.
Saute the fennel , celery root , potatoes , and apples with the 1 1 / 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 / 2 teaspoon of pepper , stirring occasionally , until the vegetables begin to soften or about 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the cider and cover the pot tightly with a lid.
Over low heat simmer for 30 to 40 minutes , stirring occasionally , until the vegetables are tender.
If the vegetables seem to dry add a few more tablespoons of apple cider or water.
When the vegetables are cooked stir in the cream and cook for 1 minute.
Using a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade process vegetable mixture.
A food processor can also be used but will result in a smoother texture.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed than return to pot to keep warm until serving.
