I know that some people eat celery with hummus. Or put pimento cheese or peanut butter on it. Are there any other foods that you think go well with celery? I’ve got some celery in my fridge that I’m trying to eat up.
Like others are saying Bloody Marys & mirepoix. If you want to eat it raw with stuff, but you’re not in love with the texture, I’d recommend lightly peeling the celery before cutting into sticks. Removing some of the chewy rind while leaving the crunch makes it much more palatable.
You can use celery sticks to scoop up peanut butter. They go well with all sorts of nuts in salads. That being said, I’m not a fan of celery
Finely diced celery, carrots and onion is the foundation of basically all great stews and ragouts (including ragu alla bolognese).
Mirepoix
Soup, anything else is crazy, fight me on it!
I use celery is so many things. Stir-fry, salads, chop it up and mix it in ‘egg salad’. Soups, stews, pasta sauce. Fry up a bunch of veggies with it, add some beans or lentils and spices, serve over rice, or noodles.
Cut off the base and the tips, rinse it all, cut scoop-sized pieces of the perfect stalks or parts of stalks and pop them in some ice water until you can try the suggestions. Chop all the rest, leaves and too small inner bits and strong-flavored rough outer stalks. Put the chopped pieces in the freezer. Perfect for chicken soup, or in almost anything that starts with “chop an onion.” (Not instead of the onion, in addition to it!)

- Gin and tomato juice.
Celery is great fight me
Cottage cheese.
Feta cheese
Those are hummus shovels in this house.
Essential ingredient in almost every Soup Stock.
Honestly I hate it on its own but it goes well in every soup I’ve ever made.
Mirepoix is in a lot of stuff besides soup as well. Onions, carrots, and Celery base.
We used to have a prep bucket that we would fill with all our ends of onion, celery, carrots, sometimes tomatoes and garlic in. It would get put in a bag, dated and frozen. Then we would make stock from it when we had enough. Reduced to a quarter 4 times if I remember right.
We also used to save all our fish and meat trimmings separately so we could use it in the stock making depending on what kind of soup were going to make.
I still make turkey stalk with the thanksgiving caucus. Then make turkey soup. My favorite part of thanksgiving/christmas turkey! There is almost no waste when I cook for the holidays.
I believe it’s turkey carcass that makes turkey stock for soup.
The Turkey Caucus makes legislation.

Correct, long live our turkey overlords!
Also stalk, me alcohol, post bad, spell, good, not!
Add a small amount of chopped celery to a large amount of ground beef, eggs, and breadcrumbs for meatloaf. Use the remaining celery to feed rabbits, then make rabbit stew!
In Louisiana we have the holy Trinity: onion, celery, and green bell pepper add the basis for most of our foods.
If you want something easy, maybe mix that with some scrambled eggs and rice. Otherwise, peanut butter? Haha
has anyone said “just salt” yet?
