What to do with celery

Alison_B

I have just got my vegetable box delivered today and it has got celery in it:eek: . We all hate celery but trying to save some money - I am determined not to throw it away. Does anybody have any recipes where I can use it up - without it tasting of celery (yuck).

Thanks

It can be used quite easily in homemade soup - a couple of sticks at a time - without leaving the taste of celery

I usually put a few bits of it in bolognese or chilli. If you pull off the stringy bits and whizz it up with some other veg it won't taste strong. Adds a few vitamins whilst "hiding" it!

I'll second the soups.

Its also really nice in casseroles etc - it tastes totally different when cooked.

Have you tried filling the curve with cream cheese, slicing into bite sized pieces and having as a snack? Its quite nice, honest!

If you really can't get rid of it all and end up with it going floppy in the fridge, use it when you make stock - veg or meat based - it gives a bit more body to the stock.

it takes more calories to eat it than it contains so great on a diet

Make up some vegetable stock with the celery, some carrots, leaks, onions and a few herbs, or add it to a meat stock you are making up.

I am sure that celery is not in season in the UK at the moment. What sort of box delivery scheme was it?

Celery is also a great base ingredient with onions and/or leaks for rissotto.

p.s. Try "peeling" the stringy bits off and eating it raw. Most people don't like the texture rather than the taste. Alternatively dip it in sour cream and chives. You have to eat the celery though, not just lick the dip off.

what about roasting it covered with melted cheese

Oh dear I'm agreeing on yet another post of yours


I hate celery, and always have, but recently started buying it to add to soups/casseroles/stocks and the flavour has definitely improved but I can't taste the celery!

I also picked up the tip of removing the stringy bits from TDL and now I just run the peeler down the length of it and it takes away the yukky stringy bits and is much nicer to use

Or spread it with soft cheese, hmmmm, doesn't use more calories eating it if you do it this way though.

Feed it to a passing rabbit, fatten up the rabbit and have rabbit stew instead
