Drying Celery

 

Made egg salad sandwiches for breakfast the other day 

everything was home made or home grown

celery from the garden (we grow it in the green house)

  is tastier  than store bought

 

 

 Try drying the celery stocks to use in soups, and stews 

 slice celery into 1/4 inch slices

place in a food dehydrator

dry until brittle

store in a dark, air-tight container

 

 

 

 

  the leaves I just chop up and put out on a tray lined with paper towels

when completely dry store in a dark, air-tight container

I add the leaves to course sea salt along with other dried vegetables and herbs

 (tomatoes, eggplant, carrots, oregano, tarragon, etc.) from the garden

 and put in a salt grinder

 

 

 

 

Try using the fresh leaves in salad or an omelet
