A simple and comforting side dish featuring steamed celery root and fennel, pureed with olive oil, fresh basil, and garlic, seasoned with salt and pepper.
In a steamer basket, add chopped fennel and celery root, shallot and two cloves of garlic. Steam until all veggies are soft and can easily be pierced by a fork (about 10-15 minutes). Let cool and transfer to food processor or blender. Blend and slowly add olive oil until desired consistency. For a more creamier consistency add more olive oil. Add basil, 1 raw garlic clove and season w salt and pepper and blend again. Transfer to bowl and serve!
