Best 6 Braised Celery With Lentils And Garlic Recipes

BRAISED CELERY WITH LENTILS AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat ¼ cup oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high. Add celery and toss to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until celery is very lightly browned, about 5 minutes, then add garlic and toss to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is deep golden brown and celery is tender and golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Mix in 1 tsp. kosher salt, then add wine and herbs (if using) and stir to combine. Cook until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil; stir in lentils. Cook until lentils are warmed through and flavors have come together, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with more kosher salt if needed. Fish out herb sprigs if using and discard.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Crack eggs into skillet and cover with a lid (or a baking sheet if you don't have one), reduce heat to low, and cook just until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.
• Divide braised celery mixture among bowls. Top each with an egg and some celery leaves; sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread, if desired.

BRAISED AND GRATINéED CELERY

Steps:

• Trim the tops of the celery and separate the stalks. Lightly peel the stalks to remove the strings. Cut the stalks into lengths of about 3 inches. Drop into 2 to 3 quarts of rapidly boiling water and, 2 minutes after the water returns to a boil, drain and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the onion in a saucepan with the butter and sauté over medium heat until translucent but not browned. Add the pancetta, stir and sauté for about 1 minute. Add the celery, a light sprinkling of salt and pepper and sauté for 5 minutes, turning the celery from time to time.
• Add the broth, cover the pan and cook at a gentle simmer until the celery is tender at the pricking of a fork.
• Arrange the cooked celery in a baking dish with the inner sides of the stalks facing up. Spoon the sautéed onion and pancetta over the celery, then add the grated cheese. Place the dish on the uppermost rack of the oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese has formed a slight crust. Allow to settle for a few minutes, then serve.
