I hate raw celery.
There it is.
I can sauté it for stuffing or casseroles. Pureed for soup? Yum.
But it is grilling season, and I am anxious about the impending winter, so I am still grilling everything.
Can you grill celery to make it delicious?
Yes, YES YOU CAN.
Add cheese. Oh, and pickled onions. Do you know about my pickled onion obsession?
Well, I have one. New pandemic staple.
Ingredients:
- a head of celery, trimmed and washed (save the ends for your freezer stock veggie pile)
- oil!
- seasonings – I think I used za’atar here..
- quick pickled red onions (or thin sliced onions, soak them in water or vinegar for an hour or so to cut the bite)
- feta!
Grill the celery by dousing it in oil and seasonings. Za’atar works nice here but you could do all kinds of things.. Add to a hot grill and grill grill grill, turning occasionally until it is soft and browned up: 10 or 15 minutes?
Take it off and chop it up into bite sized pieces.. Add things. Like quick pickled onions and chopped feta. Season.
So simple and good.
I am grilling celery now forever.
