Recipes Using Celery
Unlike traditional veggies such as broccoli and leeks, celery often goes under the radar in terms of ingredients, but once you discover its benefits and versatility in recipes, you won’t look back. Here are some of our favourite ways to use celery in recipes:
- Soups: Celery adds nutrients and a subtle, aromatic flavour to many soup recipes, making it a staple in many soups, including chicken noodle and vegetable soups.
- Salads: Its crisp texture makes celery perfect for salads like Waldorf salad or tuna salad.
- Stir-Fries: Celery brings a crunchy contrast to stir-fry recipes, pairing well with meats, and other vegetables.
- Stuffing: Celery is often a key ingredient in traditional stuffing recipes, providing flavour and texture to your stuffing of choice.
- Stews: It enhances the depth of flavour in hearty stews, blending well with other root vegetables.
- Juices: Celery is commonly used in juices due to its hydrating properties, nutrients, low calories and mild, refreshing taste in green juices.
- Casseroles and lasagnes: Celery is sometimes used in casseroles, adding a subtle crunch to an otherwise soft dish. It is used for similar reasons in some lasagne recipes.
