[recipe] Cream of Celery ~ Linda McCartney's recipe

[Guest guest]

Here is another very nice recipe I like from Linda

McCartney. I make this one when I have a bunch

of celery to use up before it goes bad.

I can't remember the last time I had celery spoil

in my crisper! *lol*

I like to serve this one as a side or as a main dish

over noddles with a salad and some crusty french

bread.

 

Cream of Celery

 

4 Tbs. butter or margarine

8 large celery stalks, sliced

1 small onion, minced [or about 1/4 cup total]

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbs. all-purpose flour

1 1/4 cups vegetable stock

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 cup milk

Salt and pepper, to taste

 

Melt the butter in a saucepan over very low heat.

Add the celery and onion; stir well to coat.

Cover the pan and leave on low heat without stirring

for about 15 minutes. Shake the pan if you need to so

the butter doesn't burn, but just watch it a bit as it slow

cooks to soft. Add in the garlic during the final 2 minutes

of cooking.

Uncover the pan and sprinkle in the flour over the veggies.

Stir to combine, and while stirring gradually add the vegetable

stock. When this gets thicker add the sour cream and milk.

Stir constantly until thick as you like and warmed through.

Add fresh ground pepper and salt to taste.
