4 servings
- 1 large celery root (about 2 lb), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium apple (such as honeycrisp or fuji), peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks
- ½ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- ⅓ cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
Ingredient noteTurmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteGround ginger is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
For serving
- fresh sage leaves, for serving (optional)
- drizzle of olive oil, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the celery root cubes and apple chunks in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add 1/2 tsp salt and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the celery root is completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 18–22 minutes.

While the celery root simmers, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant but not browned, about 1–2 minutes. Add the sliced sage, turmeric, and ginger and cook, stirring, until the sage is wilted and the spices are fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
