Braised Carrots And Celery Recipes

BRAISED CELERY

Steps:

• Saute 1 sliced onion in a skillet with butter until golden. Add 1 chopped carrot, fresh oregano, salt and pepper; cook 2 minutes. Peel 1 bunch celery; cut into long pieces and add to the skillet with 1 cup chicken broth. Cover and simmer until just tender, 20 minutes; uncover and boil to thicken. Stir in more butter and chopped parsley.

BRAISED CELERY WITH LENTILS AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat ¼ cup oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high. Add celery and toss to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until celery is very lightly browned, about 5 minutes, then add garlic and toss to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is deep golden brown and celery is tender and golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Mix in 1 tsp. kosher salt, then add wine and herbs (if using) and stir to combine. Cook until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil; stir in lentils. Cook until lentils are warmed through and flavors have come together, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with more kosher salt if needed. Fish out herb sprigs if using and discard.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Crack eggs into skillet and cover with a lid (or a baking sheet if you don't have one), reduce heat to low, and cook just until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.
• Divide braised celery mixture among bowls. Top each with an egg and some celery leaves; sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread, if desired.

SIMPLE CARROTS AND CELERY SIDE DISH

Steps:

• Put stock in medium sized pot and bring to a rapid boil.
• Add the carrots and the celery to the pot.
• Boil for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
• Scoop out the veggies and serve. Most of the liquid will be boiled away so you can simple discard that but if I am serving plain rice I will often spoon it over the top since it is tasty and there isn't much of it.

BRAISED POTATOES AND CARROTS

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat 4 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and carrots. Cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Add the onion and cook another 5 minutes. Add the garlic and the remaining oil. Cook for 2 more minutes.
• Add the sage, rosemary, and thyme. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the wine and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer covered for about 8 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking about 4 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the liquid has thickened enough to coat the vegetables.
• (If you need to, you can add more water or wine to coat the vegetables. **Also, I always grind up my rosemary into a powder because I don't like little twigs in my food! HA!).
