Forbidden Celery image

This secret recipe was passed on to me by my MIL. She said it came from her mother, who got it from a chef at a country club. The chef, so the story goes, required that she keep the recipe a secret and forbid that it be shared. Since the chef is (by now) long passed, I feel comfortable sharing the recipe. I normally make double batches, it will not last. I tried it with fat-free cream cheese and my husband rejected it. Personally, I thought it worked just fine.

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces cream cheese
1 beef bouillon cube
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons onions
1 bunch celery

Steps:

  • Soften the cream cheese to room temperature. Dissolve the bouillon cube in very hot water. Mince the onion very very finely (mush it up). Clean the celery.
  • Combine cream cheese and bouillon water. Use your mixer and whip it until fluffy and soft.
  • Spread onto celery sticks (or put the dip in the middle of a bowl and place celery sticks around it).
  • The dip can be made in advance (up to 2 days). I generally "garnish" with a sprinkle of celery powder to give interest to the plate.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my celery turned out mushy. I think I may have cooked it for too long.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I will add some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the celery turned out too salty. I think I will use less salt next time.

I've never been a big fan of celery, but this recipe changed my mind. The celery was so delicious and I loved the crunchy texture of the almonds.

This recipe was a hit! The celery turned out perfectly tender and flavorful. I loved the combination of the celery with the other ingredients, especially the almonds and raisins.
