Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 stalks celery, cut crosswise on a diagonal into thirds, leaves reserved
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 scallions, chopped
3 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons coriander seeds, finely crushed
1 tablespoon celery seeds, crushed
1/4 teaspoon chili-pepper flakes
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons salt
1 small bunch fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Boil the celery in lightly salted water for 1 minute. Drain, cool under cold running water and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet and saute the scallions for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the broth, coriander seeds, celery seeds and chili-pepper flakes and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the celery and lemon juice. Cover, reduce heat to very low and simmer until the celery is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. If more than 1 cup of broth remains, remove the celery and continue cooking until the broth has reduced. Recombine celery and broth in a flat container, add the salt and refrigerate, covered with tinfoil, for 1 hour.
  • Chop 1/2 of the cilantro leaves with the celery leaves and add to the celery. Sprinkle the remaining cilantro on top and serve.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The celery was a bit tough, even after braising it for the recommended time.

This dish is too bland for my taste. I think it needs more garlic and ginger.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my celery turned out too spicy. I think I might have added too much chili oil.

I'm not a huge fan of celery, but this dish has changed my mind. The spiciness and the braising process really takes away the bitterness of the celery.
