Leaf Celery in the Kitchen Garden
Manage episode 341769836 series 2360070
Scientific Name:Apium graveolens var. secalinum
Plant family: Apiaceae Common Name: Parcel A relatively uncommon or even unkown herb or vegetable. Parcel stems from the idea that it looks like parsley but tastes like celery.- Leaf celery is a biennial plant growing to 60cm in height.
Then adding the garlic and tomatoes to make a tomato base for any Italian dish.
However, if you like munching on celery stalks, or using them in Waldorf salads, it's not a substitute in that instance. The stalks of leaf celery are much thinner and hollow and have a more pungent taste ( to my liking) that normal culinary celery.This winter I have practically depleted my supply of leaf celery because of the number of soups, and slow co oked meals I have been preparing. It’s just a great flavouring herb. Leaf celery stalks in my garden (pictured right)
Easy Peasy Celery Salt Celery salt can also be made from the seeds. Simply let one plant go to flower and set seed. Then once dried in situ, collect the seeds and crush them.
- Corinne suggests dehydrating the leaves to make celery leaf salt.
Much easier to grow too. Corinne Mossati, founder of www.thegourmanticgarden.com has further suggestions. So let’s find out more by listening to the podcast.
