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.

    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.

      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.
