This recipe for celeriac mash with salami chips makes a rich and comforting low carb and keto meal. It’s full of flavour and will leave you feeling satisfied for hours.
I’d like it to be noted that some seriously healthy planning went into this dish. That was until I saw that Jonny had bought our favourite whole salami. As we are still officially in the glutinous period prior to New Year, I figured no one would mind too much :)
This would make an extremely tasty side dish to a roast. However, it makes a surprisingly light lunch too. The mix of delicate rooty mash with crispy, salty salami is a real hit. If you don’t have any salami to hand, chop up some smoked bacon and fry till crispy.
Celeriac Mash with Salami Chips
Prep Time
15 mins
Cook Time
30 mins
Total Time
45 mins
Ingredients
- 1 celeriac if it's a small one, add potatoes to bulk it out
- 1 " chunk of your favourite salami or 3 rashers of bacon
- 3 spring onions chopped
- knob of butter
Instructions
- Peel and chop the celeriac. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until soft. If you are super hungry or need a more substantial meal, add potatoes.
- Whilst the root is cooking, skin the salami and chop into little matchsticks. Heat a frying pan then quickly fry the meat, allowing the edges to blacken in places. As soon as the fat within starts melting, turn the chips out onto some kitchen paper to drain.
- When soft, drain & mash the celeriac with a knob of butter and a sprinkle of pepper (don't add salt as the salami/bacon has plenty). Throw in half the spring onions and mix well.
- Plate up and sprinkle with the remaining onions and salami chips.

I am a huge salami nut. Here in goa it is difficult to buy salami so I have my people in europe sending me some over from time to time. Right now I have a big piece of Hungarian salami at home, so your recipe is coming at a good time. I ll have to try this out for myself. Thanks for sharing Jane! =)

Do it! Hope you love it!
PS It’s also amazing if you roast a big lump on a stick over an open fire – YUM!!!

I learn so much from blogging. I didn’t know what celeriac was and had to google it:) Now I must try this. I learned that unlike other root veggies celeriac contains very little starch. Sorry but I love fun new facts:) Thanks for joining Lets Get Social Sunday:)
Following in as many ways as possible:)

Hello again (new pet stalker! :)
I know what you mean about learning stuff, I’m just the same!
Hope you get a chance to try Celeriac some time, it’s kinda the same consistency as swede when mashed but with a mild celery flavour.

Haha! I hadn’t ever heard of celeriac so when I saw the title, my mind read it as Cerelac, which is an instant baby cereal here in Thailand. I thought it was an… interesting thing to pair with salami!
Jane Sarchet says
Hahaha, sorry to gross you out Robin!
I’m sure the Celeriac version is far tastier :)
