Use Celery

Celery is a very useful vegetable to have on hand as it can be added to a variety of dishes and made into easy snacks by itself. Here are some suggestions for using celery.

Steps

  1. Select the celery. Celery should be firm, crisp, and not wilted when purchased. Avoid any blemished stalks or cracked stalks. Store in the fridge in a plastic bag or with the tail end sitting in a little water.
  2. Enjoy celery raw. Both the stalks and the leaves are edible. Add chopped celery to salads or as sticks with dips. For the kids, spread nut butter into the centre of the stalk and place sultanas at even intervals, to make "ants on a log".
    • Remove the stringy parts if you find that the stalks are too tough.
  3. Prepare a Chicken and Spinach Stir Fry. Add celery to your stir-fry for a crunchy, tasty improvement. Slice it on an angle, about finger length for inclusion.
  4. Turn celery into soup. Celery soup is creamy and nutritious, and is very warming on cold days. It goes perfectly with crunchy bread or toast.
  5. Add celery to stews and casseroles. It's a delicious addition that helps to make the vegetables go further.
  6. Use the celery leaves. Celery leaves can be used for various dishes, to add flavour. Use in stock, broth, soup, or in salads. Celery leaves also make great garnishes.
    • Use them to flavor and garnish a fish.
