PICKLED CELERY RELISH



Pickled Celery Relish image

This slightly spicy, crunchy and tangy relish will keep in the refrigerator for a month, but we're betting you'll use it up long before. Serve it as a condiment with everything from fried chicken-and-biscuits to fried rice, fold it into egg or chicken salad, or use it like giardiniera, layered with meat and cheeses on a crusty roll. And if you have some on hand...Stir some mustard seeds into the pickling liquid for a little extra crunch and flavor.

Time 12h15m

Yield 1 to 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch celery, including the heart
1 cup distilled white vinegar
6 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 small red fresno chile, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Trim the skinny tops and dark green leaves from the celery and discard or save them for soup. Save a handful of tender, light green leaves from the heart. Slice the ribs about 1/8-inch thick on an angle. Put the celery pieces and light green leaves in a large nonreactive bowl.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the vinegar, 1 cup water, the sugar, salt, ginger and chile to a boil, stirring once or twice. Pour over the celery. Transfer to a mason jar or any sealable container, using a spoon or fork to press the celery into the liquid. Cover and refrigerate (it's okay if the mixture is still slightly warm) at least overnight before eating (the pickles will keep, refrigerated, for up to 1 month).

CEDAR PLANK SALMON WITH CELERY SALAD AND CURRANT PINE NUT RELISH



Cedar Plank Salmon with Celery Salad and Currant Pine Nut Relish image

Smoked salmon is great for the road because it holds up really well and can be prepared ahead of time. It can be served hot, cold or room-temperature. When you smoke something, it will cook it through without making it dry. The pine nut relish is also great at room temperature and adds flavor, acidity and richness to the dish. The celery salad adds freshness and carries acidity, especially with the addition of the Meyer lemon juice.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds wild salmon, cut into 6 portions
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Zest of 1 Meyer lemon
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup dried currants
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
Kosher salt
4 stalks celery with leaves, peeled and sliced thinly on a bias
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1/2 Meyer lemon
Flaked sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the salmon: Preheat a smoker for cooking to 225 degrees F and preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Remove the cedar planks from the water and pat the surfaces dry. Put the cedar planks on a baking sheet. Place the salmon portions skin-side down on the cedar planks. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Evenly top the salmon with the parsley and lemon zest. Place the baking sheet in the smoker and allow the salmon to smoke just until it has been slightly infused with smoke flavor, about 15 minutes. Remove from the smoker and immediately transfer to the oven to finish cooking, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit until room temperature, or refrigerate and serve the next day.
  • For the currant and pine nut relish: Combine the vinegar, currants, honey, shallots and mustard seeds in a small pot. Heat the pot over medium-high heat until bubbles begin to form, then lower the heat to maintain a slow simmer. Continue to cook until the currants have plumped and the liquid has reduced and become slightly viscous, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and fold in the pine nuts. Season the relish with salt.
  • For the salad: Dress the celery, celery leaves and cilantro in a medium bowl with the olive oil, Meyer lemon juice, flaked salt and pepper. Top the salmon with the celery salad and a spoonful of the currant and pine nut relish and serve.

CELERY RELISH

I have made this a couple times to have and serve at BBQ's. Is great as a condiment for burgers off the grill. I used to only buy celery when I was making potato salad or thanksgiving dressing. Now I find myself picking up a bunch each time I grocery shop. Hope you find this added bbq dish a winner at your next family...
