Celery is a fundamental ingredient in the kitchen, ideal for sautéing with onion and carrot, or for enhancing our dishes. It has a fresh and fragrant flavor, and you can also use it to decorate and make your dishes unique. We will show you 5 ways to cut celery, simple and delicious ideas ideal for original garnishes to your recipes with a simple ingredient we always have on hand.
1. The Julienne Cut
Start by julienne-cutting the celery: use a vegetable peeler (or mandolin) to create many thin strips from the celery stalk. Cut them into smaller pieces and place them in ice water to crisp them.
2. The Diamond Cut
Then move on to the diamond cut: divide the stem into several sections, level them and cut them diagonally to obtain small diamonds.
3. The Celery Sticks
Try celery sticks, too: peel the stalk with a vegetable peeler or mandolin, then roll the strips into little bundles and dip them in ice water to keep them crunchy.
4. The Harlequin Cut
Another method is the harlequin cut: cut the stem diagonally to obtain thin strips that are somewhat reminiscent of the Star Trek logo. Perfect for an original touch!
5. Remove the Leaves From the Heart of the Celery
Finally, don't forget the celery leaves at the heart of the stalk. They're fresh, sweet, and great for adding a creative touch to your dishes.
