carrots & celery

2014-08-23

Very different from the sweeter combinations. Celery can give a sharper flavor that some people may not like if it dominates.

The carrots and celery in pictures 3+4 may be overstewed to your liking. I added them early in the stew because I like the flavor exchanges that creates. If you prefer them crisp, add them late in the stew or prepare separately as described below.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

1 lb. carrots, peeled, sliced
4 celery stalks
1/2 onion, chopped fine
olive oil
S&P

Wash the celery stalks. Cut in 1" pieces.
Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil. Glaze the onions until transparent.
Add carrots, 1 cup water, S&P to taste.
Cover and stew the carrots for 5-10 minutes
Add the celery.
Cover again, stew a few minutes until desired doneness for the celery.
If you want the celery cooked more, add it earlier. (Pic3+4)
If desired, thicken the broth with oil dough.
Adjust seasoning.
Serve and enjoy.
