 About celeryCelery is one of three vegetables considered the holy trinity (along with onions and bell peppers) of Louisiana Creole and Cajun cuisine. It is also one of the three vegetables (together with onions and carrots) that constitute the French mirepoix, which is often used as a base for sauces and soups. Celery Salt is used as a seasoning, in cocktails (notably to enhance the flavour of Bloody Mary cocktails), on the Chicago-style hot dog, and in Old Bay Seasoning. Because of the requirement to earth up celery, it can be a bit of a fiddle to grow at home, however, a neat cheat is to grow cutting celery which looks like parsley, has the flavour of celery and can be grown on a window sill. |
