Spicy Celery With Garlic Recipes

SPICY SHRIMP, CELERY, AND CASHEW STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Mix the soy sauce, sesame oil and wine, in a medium bowl, set aside. Mince the ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a mini chopper.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, the celery and cashews. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and stir-fry until the celery turns jade green, about 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a plate.
• Return the skillet to high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the shrimp and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir-fry until shrimp turn pink and curl up, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger-garlic mixture and the scallion whites, and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Return the celery and cashews to the pan with most of the scallion greens and the reserved soy sauce mixture and stir over the heat for about 1 minute to mix together evenly and blend flavors. Mound the mixture on a platter and garnish with the remaining scallion greens.

SPICY SAUTEED CELERY

• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 6 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes and season with salt.

SPICY CELERY WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler, remove the tough, fibrous strings from the celery ribs. Cut the celery into 2-inch pieces. You should have about 8 cups.
• Place the celery pieces in a large bowl, cover with cold water and wash them thoroughly.
• Place the celery, still wet, in a large saucepan with the remainder of the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil, uncovered; then, reduce the heat, cover and cook gently for about 25 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated and the celery is tender.
• Serve immediately, or if you want to serve the dish later, cool, cover, refrigerate and reheat briefly in a microwave oven or in a saucepan on top of the stove.

SPICY SAUTEED CELERY

• 3. IDEAS: This dish is good with "steamed fish" or "pork roast"

SPICY MARINATED CELERY (GIARDINIERA)

CREAMY SPICED COLESLAW

Steps:

SPICY SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add the mushrooms, then fry over a high heat for 3 mins until golden and softened. Add the garlic, fry for 1 min more, then tip into a bowl with the parsley. Add the onion and celery to the pan with the rest of the oil, then fry for 5 mins until lightly coloured.
• Stir in the tomatoes, chilli and a little salt, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 mins until thickened. Meanwhile, boil the spaghetti, then drain. Toss with the sauce, top with the garlicky mushrooms, then serve.

MUSSELS WITH TOMATO AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat the oil on a medium heat in a large saucepan with lid (large enough to hold the mussels).
• Add the garlic and cook stirring constantly for about one minute.
• Add the onion, celery, and tomato and cook until the onions and celery are tender.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the wine and cook an additional 10 minutes, adding water if required to prevent the sauce from becoming too thick.
• Add the mussels stirring to coat, cover, and cook until the shells open (5 to 10 minutes).
• Spoon the mussels and sauce into four bowls and sprinkle with parsley.
