Chop up the carrots, onions, and cabbage into bite size pieces
Place them in a slow cooker
Season the meat with salt and pepper generously and add to the pot
Pour over your liquid and the can of tomatoes

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours
In the last hour, set up a pot with a steam basket and bring water to boil
Peel celery root and cut into small chunks
Steam cauliflower florets and celeriac until soft, about 10 minutes
Drain the water and dump into the pot. Then add milk, butter, salt and pepper
Blend with an immersion blender or smash by hand until creamy
We like to make volcanoes and serve the stew over the creamy veggies
Garnish with fresh parsley for color, nutrients, and to help with digestion.
