Celery - Favorite recipes?
In order to plant my kabocha pumpkins a few days ago I had to dig up 3
good sized celery plants and they're in my refrigerator in plastic bags. For me living alone, that's a lot of celery! Keeps well, but even so I'm going to need ideas or most of it will go bad. I need good ideas for recipes including celery. Celery sticks, celery with peanut butter I know about. Maybe some soups? What do you like? TIA... Dan Email: dmusicant at pacbell dot net |

What do you like? TIA... Dan Email: dmusicant at pacbell dot net I hit send too soon. Here are some other ideas: 1) Stuffing: Sautee onions and celery in butter; add to stale bread cubes with chicken stock, salt, pepper, and sage 2) Chicken salad (or any other kind of mayo-based salad) benefits, in my opinion, from a LARGE amount of VERY FINELY DICED celery and some finely diced sweet onion. I'm picky about that, but it comes out really well. 3) Celery roasts very well. To roast veggies, I chop them into roughly equal-sized chunks, toss all of them in a little olive oil and salt, spread them out in one layer on a baking sheet lined with something (foil, parchment, silicone, whatever) and bake at 400F, turning every 15-20 minutes or so, until the edges are all caramelized. My favorite combo is potatoes, beets, carrots, and onions, but celery is a lovely addition to that. Serene -- 42 Magazine, celebrating life with meaning.

I need good ideas for recipes including celery. Here is a nice recipe I translated from a book I have here. Celery baked with bone marrow Serves 4 2 thick bunches of celery 50 g (1.8 ounces) butter 800 g (1.8 pounds) marrow bones 1 tablespoon flour 3 tablespoons freshly grated cheese 1/2 cup Madeira wine 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons salt Wash the celery and cut of and discard the roots. Divide the bunches into stalks and cut off and discard the green part (or use it for soup). Cut each stalk in half lengthwise, removing any stringy parts. Butter a gratin dish and place the celery stalks in it, parallel to each other, packing them fairly tightly. Salt and pepper. Put the marrow bones into a pot, cover with boiling water and let stand a few minutes. Remove the marrow from the bones (this will be easy now). Cut the marrow in pieces and layer them on top of the celery stalks. Using a whisk, mix the flour with Madeira wine well, so that there are no clots. Pour over the celery. Cut the rest of the butter into bits and dot the top with butter. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake in a hot oven for 40 minutes. Victor |

"Serene Vannoy" wrote in message I *love* celery soup. Chop up an onion and a whole stalk (all the ribs, that is) of celery. Sautee them in butter and/or oil with salt and pepper until everything's softened. Add good chicken stock or some other cooking liquid to cover, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes, adding more liquid if necessary to keep them covered. At the end, either puree or don't, depending on your preference, and then add heavy cream. That sounds delicious! Thanks. |

If you have more left over, you can chop it, freeze in one cup baggies and
use in cooking later. Will be soft but flavor will still be there.

Right, evap adds no extra butterfat... but it does add a caramelized flavor that is acceptible in confections and some sweet dishes but can be off tasting in savory dishes. I would be loathe to use evap in any cream-of soup, especially celery. |

It is also from _Bistro Cooking_ by Patricia Wells. Victor Céleri Rémoulade Celery Root in Mustard Sauce 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 tablespoons imported Dijon mustard or to taste 1 cup crème fraîche or heavy cream Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 celery root (about 1 pound; 500 g) 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, mustard, crème fraîche, and salt and pepper to taste; mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust the seasoning. 2. Quarter the celery root and peel it. Grate coarsely, in a food processor or on a Mouli grater. Immediately add it to the mustard sauce and toss to coat. Season to taste. Serve as a first course. Yield: 4 to 6 servings I use mayo instead of crème fraîche or heavy cream. Creme fraîch is good for tarte flammbée, but thats another story. Sounds good to me. A good handmade, sugarfree mayonnaise. I make that with mustard and lemon juice, but that is already in the recipe. Pepper ! Salut! et des cornichons, câpres, un peu de persil et estragon. It's really good. CELERY ROOT REMOULADE Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. 1/4 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream 2 cornichons (sour gherkins), minced, or 1 tablespoon minced dill pickle 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon drained bottled capers, minced 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard a pinch dried tarragon, crumbled 2 small celery roots (about 1 1/4 pound total), peeled and cut into matchstick pieces or shredded coarse In a small bowl stir together mayonnaise, crème fraîche, cornichons, parsley, lemon juice, capers, mustard, tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste until combined well. In a large saucepan of salted boiling water cook celery root 2 minutes. Drain celery root in a sieve and refresh under cold water. Dry celery root completely. Add celery root to sauce and stir together. Chill salad until ready to serve. Serves 2.

That would be also a good but somewhat different story, not céleri rémoulade. Here is what I posted before - and what looks more like your version: You can also toss the grated celery root (or one cut in very thin strips) with the juice of one lemon and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Then mix together mayonnaise (preferably home-made) and mustard. Toss with the celery root and serve cool. Victor |
