Celery is one of the main ingredients in the classic summer aubergine caponata. Few days ago, I thought of making it the protagonist, foregoing the aubergines (not in season now, of course) and the result was excellent
Please read my post on caponata first. This is just a note to myself, not to forget this dish
First I made the sauce from my caponata recipe.
Meanwhile I stringed a large bunch of celery (whichI had placed in cold water for few hrs). I then cut it up in thickish slices.
When the sauce had simmered for about twenty minutes, I added the celery and let it cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally.
The caponata di sedano was rested for 24 hrs and eaten the following days. Delicious.
Sounds lovely Stefano! I love recipes that take vegetables like celery that we usually think of in “supporting roles” and make them the star. Will definitely give this one a try!
