Pam's Cooked Celery-Amish Style image

If I remember correctly, I found this recipe in the book by Beth Wiseman, Plain Perfect (Daughters of the Promise, Book 1). It said that this dish is traditionally served at Amish wedding dinners with roast turkey. I thought it sounded good (I am into anything German sweet and sour) so I made a batch. Surprised the heck out of me...

Tips:

  • Use fresh celery: Fresh celery is crisp and flavorful, which makes it the best choice for this recipe. If you can't find fresh celery, you can use pre-cut celery, but make sure it's not too limp.
  • Cut the celery into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 2 inches long and 1/4 inch thick.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the celery will steam instead of sauté. Cook the celery in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the celery until it is tender-crisp: You want the celery to be cooked through, but you don't want it to be mushy. A good rule of thumb is to cook the celery for 5-7 minutes, or until it is tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use a good quality sweet and sour sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish, so don't skimp on it. You can use a store-bought sauce, or you can make your own. If you're making your own sauce, be sure to use fresh ingredients and adjust the sweetness and sourness to your taste.

Conclusion:

This sweet and sour celery is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover celery. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy celery, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
