Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 celery stalks
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and trim the celery stalks, cutting them into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
Peel and finely dice the onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil and unsalted butter in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, curry powder, cumin, and paprika, cooking for an additional 1 minute to toast the spices.
Increase the heat slightly and add the celery pieces to the pan. Stir to coat the celery in the spiced mixture, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low, allowing the celery to simmer for 8-10 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and let any excess liquid evaporate for 1-2 minutes if needed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or alongside steamed rice for a light vegetarian meal.
