GRANDMA'S STUFFED CELERY

Grandma's Stuffed Celery image

My grandma always made stuffed celery at Thanksgiving and Christmas. As kids, we were always so hungry before the holiday meal we would sneak and get a piece of celery to curb our appetite. It was nearly all gone by meal time and we always got fussed at with hint of a grin from Grandma. Now I never have holiday meals without it!

STUFFED CELERY STALKS

Categories appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced into rings
Pinch kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup blue cheese, preferably Roquefort, crumbled
Dash heavy cream, as needed
Dash Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Pinch kosher salt
Freshly ground black peppercorns
1/2 cup pistachio nuts
8 celery stalks, leaves attached

Steps:

To make the onion spread: Drizzle the vegetable oil into a wide pan over high heat. Once hot, add the onion rings and saute for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to low, and cook slowly for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the rings are nice, soft and a medium-golden brown color, pull them off the heat.
Season with the kosher salt, black pepper and smoked paprika.
Put the softened and malleable cream cheese into a bowl. Incorporate the caramelized onions and stir with a spatula to combine. The heat of the onions will help melt the cheese.
The leftovers can be saved, refrigerated, in an airtight container for about a week and used on bread, burgers, or almost anything.
To make the blue cheese spread: Place the softened cream cheese into a bowl with the crumbled blue cheese. Using a spatula, mix the cheeses together until they develop a nice and smooth consistency, adding a drizzle of heavy cream if the mixture is too stiff.
Season the mixture with the Worcestershire, chives, salt and black pepper.
To make the stuffed celery: Place both spreads into 2 separate heavy plastic bags. Cut off the tip of 1 corner from each bag and use them to pipe the spreads onto the celery stalks.
