Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces celery stalks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 pieces yellow onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the celery stalks thoroughly. Trim both ends and slice them diagonally into thin, bite-sized pieces.
Peel and finely dice the half yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced celery to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the celery softens but still has a slight crunch.
Season the dish with salt and ground black pepper. Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley and a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
Serve warm as a side dish or over cooked grains like rice or quinoa for a light main course.
