This is a quick and easy side dish you can whip up in a matter of minutes. It truly celebrates celery! The celery has a light pickled flavor, then topped with a yummy, buttery, crunchy topping! —Sirbarney
Test Kitchen Notes
This is a simple and tasty side dish. I followed the exact recipe which turned out well.
Expect the celery to lose its bright color fast due to the acid in the vinegar.
The combination of ingredients produced a complex flavor. The celery was soft but
still retained a pleasant crunch. The crispy Panko topping goes well with the celery.
This recipe will pair very well with a mild fish such as tilapia or a simple chicken recipe.
As an added bonus, I used the pan glaze left behind and made a vinaigrette by adding olive oil and balsamic vinegar. —cookingProf
