I make this on repeat - excellent accompaniment for any protein. I never use heavy cream, rather any creamy ingredient I have on hand like Mexican crema or sour cream or I skip entirely. I also skip the butter. The flavors are rich as they are without the added calories. It comes together quickly on a weeknight - especially if you skip broiling.
Excellent recipe - tasty, healthy, fast. I skip the heavy cream and butter. There’s no need for it. When I’m in a rush, I don’t broil.
This is very good as is. The only thing I did differently was to steam the cut potatoes and celeriac in the InstantPot for 5 minutes. When I make it again, I think I’ll substitute sour cream for the heavy cream.
