Julie’s Creamy Celery Bake
Clean one bunch celery and chop into chunks approximately 1 inch long,
discard tops. Chop one small onion.
Sauté celery in 2 tsp. butter (more if needed) for about 5 minutes
then add the onion. Cook over medium heat until celery is beginning
to soften and onion is beginning to brown. Mix in dill, salt, and pepper
(to taste) and add 1 Tbsp. lemon juice (if you can afford the carbs the
flavour is great!). Add 1/4-1/2 cup heavy cream and simmer for a
few seconds to thicken slightly (taste sauce for seasoning and add dill
or salt or pepper as needed). Pour into casserole dish or loaf pan.
Top with 1/2 cup or more of shredded mozzarella and a good sprinkle of
grated Parmesan. Bake in medium high oven (350-400?) until bubbly
and beginning to brown on top. The celery will be firm but soft and
not slimy or mushy. I ate half a pan of this for dinner tonight...
it just hit the spot! I'm going to try the same thing with salmon
or boneless chicken chopped up in it next time!
