I know that some people eat celery with hummus. Or put pimento cheese or peanut butter on it. Are there any other foods that you think go well with celery? I’ve got some celery in my fridge that I’m trying to eat up.
Cut off the base and the tips, rinse it all, cut scoop-sized pieces of the perfect stalks or parts of stalks and pop them in some ice water until you can try the suggestions. Chop all the rest, leaves and too small inner bits and strong-flavored rough outer stalks. Put the chopped pieces in the freezer. Perfect for chicken soup, or in almost anything that starts with “chop an onion.” (Not instead of the onion, in addition to it!)
- Trash can.
- Gin and tomato juice.
Cottage cheese.
Feta cheese
Those are hummus shovels in this house.
Essential ingredient in almost every Soup Stock.
Honestly I hate it on its own but it goes well in every soup I’ve ever made.
Mirepoix is in a lot of stuff besides soup as well. Onions, carrots, and Celery base.
We used to have a prep bucket that we would fill with all our ends of onion, celery, carrots, sometimes tomatoes and garlic in. It would get put in a bag, dated and frozen. Then we would make stock from it when we had enough. Reduced to a quarter 4 times if I remember right.
We also used to save all our fish and meat trimmings separately so we could use it in the stock making depending on what kind of soup were going to make.
I still make turkey stalk with the thanksgiving caucus. Then make turkey soup. My favorite part of thanksgiving/christmas turkey! There is almost no waste when I cook for the holidays.
I believe it’s turkey carcass that makes turkey stock for soup.
The Turkey Caucus makes legislation.

In Louisiana we have the holy Trinity: onion, celery, and green bell pepper add the basis for most of our foods.
If you want something easy, maybe mix that with some scrambled eggs and rice. Otherwise, peanut butter? Haha
Add a small amount of chopped celery to a large amount of ground beef, eggs, and breadcrumbs for meatloaf. Use the remaining celery to feed rabbits, then make rabbit stew!
Peanut butter and peanuts?
Celery, onion, and carrots are the base to any soup
Also known as mirepoix.
Not any soup, but many European-style soups. I don’t like celery on its own, so that’s what I would do with it: chop it up and freeze it. Use it for soup as needed.
has anyone said “just salt” yet?
Unpopular opinion… Celery is delicious plain
(Not the super green stuff, that’s only good for cooking
Use your celery as an ingredient to make other things amazing. Mirepoix would be my first suggestion.
Tangentially related: It’s also great to add to a stock, and if you ever get a grocery store rotisserie chicken, you should consider making stock with it after you’ve cleaned off all the meat you want. Skin, bones (broken bones are even better), celery, onions, carrots… Even onion skins and those celery leaves I mentioned, it can all go in, you just strain everything out after you’re done cooking.
Pretty much any time you cook meat, consider incorporating celery into the ingredient list. It’s a friendly companion.
We always use celery when we make stock for our dogs, as we make their food using fish stock or beef stock. We get super cheap bags of salmon meat (like 5 pounds for $5) at the local farmers market and then use all of that to make stock. We get enough stock to last about 6 months per batch.
I too use stock for making food for my dogs. I’ll also make jello treats, it’s cheap, they love it, it’s really good for them.
This is the correct answer. Celery is an ingredient, not something you eat on its own. You CAN eat raw onion chunks, but most don’t. Better as an ingredient.
It’s good in soups and roasts. I’ve seen people dip it in ranch too.
Peanut butter and raisins.
Ants on a log!
Peanut butter
and raisins.So close!
How tf you gonna make bumps on a log without the bumps?!
If the bumps tasted like peanut butter I’d be fine with it!
So just peanuts?
crunchy peanut butter
Choccy chips.
Who the hell still eats raisins?! I thought society at large had decided we were done with them.
Raisins is nasty.
Are you 10?
Are you 70?
I’m with you. Raisins aren’t bad but totally overboard in this context.
