What to do with celery

[Deleted User]

I always wrap it in tinfoil and it keeps for ages nice and crisp in the bottom drawer of the fridge

Somehow, I have ended up with two unused packets of celery, which is about 10-12 stalks. We use it in vegetable chilli, and also in soups, but only a stalk a time, so it could be a while before we use it all!

Anyone have any ideas on how to use it up? I should probably add that we mostly eat a vegetarian diet. Any/all ideas will be gratefully received...

Celery freezes well I just chop mine into chunks and put in freezer bags then put in the freezer and I only use exactly what I need.

chop up and freeze or chop up with onion and carrot and freeze ready to add to soups,casseroles etc.

Steamed celery chunks put in a casserole dish, with cheese sauce poured over the top. Scatter some breadcrumbs on top of that and a few slices of tomatoes and add some slivers of butter on top of that.

Bake in oven 200C for 10-20 minutes until breadcrumbs browning and tomato slices looking "done".

Chop it up & freeze it.

It makes yummy soup & goes well in stews & casseroles.

I think the freezing option sounds good! I didn't think it would freeze well, but shows what I know

Thanks, really appreciate the advice.

Hi

I mix with carrots and freeze to add to pasta sauce.

Some interesting suggestions; I never do any of that with mine ... it all gets spread with peanut butter and eaten for breakfast

If you wrap it tightly in foil it'll last for age, even at a stalk a day.
