Celery Scallion Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Trim the skinny tops and dark green leaves from the celery and discard or save them for soup. Save a handful of tender, light green leaves from the heart. Slice the ribs about 1/8-inch thick on an angle. Put the celery pieces and light green leaves in a large nonreactive bowl.
• In a medium saucepan, bring the vinegar, 1 cup water, the sugar, salt, ginger and chile to a boil, stirring once or twice. Pour over the celery. Transfer to a mason jar or any sealable container, using a spoon or fork to press the celery into the liquid. Cover and refrigerate (it's okay if the mixture is still slightly warm) at least overnight before eating (the pickles will keep, refrigerated, for up to 1 month).

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients well in a large pot.
• Bring to the boiling point, reduce the heat, and simmer until thick, about 1 hour.
• Spoon into hot, sterilized jars, fill with the cooking liquid, leaving 1/8" headspace, and seal.
• If you wish, process in a boiling water bath 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Divide dill, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds evenly among six 8-oz. resealable plastic containers, jars, or small bowls. Place chiles, fennel, scallions, celery, carrots, and/or beets individually in a container, followed by a generous pinch of kosher salt. Whisk vinegar, agave, and 1/2 cup water in a measuring glass; pour over vegetables. Cover and chill at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
• Whisk mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, turmeric, and cayenne in a small bowl; season sauce with kosher salt.
• Cook eggs in a large saucepan of boiling salted water 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water; let cool. Peel eggs under running water; halve lengthwise.
• Place pickled vegetables individually in small serving bowls. Place olives, almonds, and some sea salt each in a small bowl. Place eggs on a platter and serve with sauce, pickles, olives, almonds, and sea salt. Let guests assemble eggs as desired.

Steps:

• 1. Put celery, onion and pimento in blender container, reserve
• 2. Mix gelatin and salad dressing in small saucepan. Stir over low heat until gelatin dissolves
• 3. Pour gelatin mixture over vegetables in blender. Cover, whirl at low speed until ingredients are coarsely chopped
• 4. Pour mixture into a bowl, cover, refrigerate until thick
• 5. Serve as an accompaniment to hamburgers, frankfurters or fried fish. This relish will keep well for about a week.

Steps:

• Heat a grill or a grill pan over high.
• As pan heats up, prepare the scallion-herb mixture: Halve 2 scallions lengthwise, then slice very thinly crosswise. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in chives and dill, if using. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• On a baking sheet, toss remaining 10 scallions with the canola oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Working in batches if necessary, grill the scallions over high heat, turning occasionally, until deeply grill-marked and slightly softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
• While the scallions cool, add the sour cream, cream cheese, lemon zest and juice, onion and garlic powders, and sugar to the medium bowl with the scallion-herb mixture.
• Thinly slice the grilled scallions, then add to the sour cream mixture and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or ideally 1 day. (The flavor will deepen as it sits.) To serve, drizzle with olive oil. Serve with potato chips for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and add scallions and celery. Cook, stirring, until celery is just tender, about 5 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic and thyme, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• Beat together egg yolks and eggs in a medium bowl. Set tart pan on a baking sheet to allow for easy handling. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush bottom of the crust with some of the beaten egg and place in oven for 5 minutes.
• Add salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, and milk to remaining eggs and whisk together.
• Spread scallion and celery mixture in an even layer in the crust. Stir together cheeses and sprinkle evenly on top. Very slowly pour the egg custard over the filling. If your tart pan has low edges, you may not need all of it to fill the shell, and you want to avoid the custard spilling over. Place quiche, on baking sheet, in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set and just beginning to color on the top. Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
