Here is a super simple side dish for any night of the week. You can sub this celeriac rice out for normal grain-filled rice in any of your favorite Mexican dishes (tacos, taco bowls, fragrant rice w/ fajitas anyone?) or any meal you love having with rice!

Serves 2-4

Ingredients

Peel and chop the celeriac into large chunks. Place in the food processor and pulse until you get a rice-like consistency.
