Yield Makes about 50 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch of celery, separated into ribs, washed well, trimmed, and strings discarded
1/2 pound Gruyère
3 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • With a small knife trim a strip down the length of the rounded side of each celery rib to form a flat bottom and cut the ribs on the diagonal into 1 1/2-inch boats. Put the celery boats in a bowl of ice and cold water and chill them, covered, until ready to assemble the hors d'oeuvres. Cut 6 ounces of the Gruyère into 1-inch julienne strips and grate fine the remaining 2 ounces. In a food processor or blender combine the grated Gruyère and the pine nuts and blend the mixture unitl it is a paste. With the motor running add the oil in a stream and blend the pesto until it is emulsified. In a bowl toss the julienne Gruyère with the pesto and fill the celery boats, drained and patted dry, with the mixture. The hors d'oeuvres may be made up to 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Serve the hors d'oeuvres at room temperature.

I loved the idea of these celery boats, but I found them to be a bit bland. I think I would add some more herbs or spices to the pesto next time.

These celery boats were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt in the pesto next time.

I'm not a big fan of celery, but these celery boats were actually really good! The gruyere pesto was really flavorful and the celery was nice and crunchy.

These celery boats were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would use less cheese in the pesto next time.

I'm not a big fan of celery, but I thought these celery boats were pretty good. The gruyere pesto was really flavorful and helped to mask the taste of the celery.

These celery boats were a hit at my party! They were so easy to make and everyone loved the combination of flavors. The celery was crunchy and refreshing, the gruyere pesto was creamy and flavorful, and the toasted walnuts added a nice nutty crunch.
