I've always loved celery-there’s something wonderful about its crisp, fresh flavor, especially when it’s smeared with peanut butter. But it wasn't until recently that I tried cooked celery and I was surprised at how delicious it was. Simple, earthy and still crisp, this recipe accentuates everything that is fantastic about this vegetable.

Tina on 2024-06-17 (4 stars): Very good! I also added a little fresh dill and squeeze of lemon at the end.
Bob on 2024-03-16 (4 stars): Made this. Liked it. Used a combination of celery from my garden and some organic celery from the store. Used my own chicken stock. Turned out quite nice and tasty. It shared the table with sweet and sour chicken meatballs (Chinese—Maggie Zhu) , and brown rice. Nice dinner.
