Sitrfetmera, Salem, Oregon, Thursday March 8. 1351 One Little Vegetable TT Celery One of Most Versatile of ( Many Vegetables, Year 'Round Food Br HudM Bun i ; : . $ , . , Statesman Woman's Editor . . . : I! , , . One of the most versatile vegetables and the least coplcuous, Is celery. It is a vegetable that improves almost any dish in the a?n wurie. It makes delightful sou p. is popular as a relisa and Is lhcluded in one of the best of aU lds Waldorf, p - f We crow celery in the Willamette valley in fcreat quantities . and almost all winter we find it in the market. The quality of thlsj vegetable has changed in the past 15 or so years more than ny we can think of. A few years ago all celery was bleached pale and flavorless, now Ifa green and meaty, and good. ; Used U be White ' t if ' We remember, not more than 15 years ago, when we asked to be sold the celery that showed a bit of green on the ends, the t vegetable woman at the public market would took aghast, thenj sell it so fast it too oar breath away. She considered that which;; was not completely white to be -seconds.- We thought it taad mV Even the outside meaty stalks of toe modern scgeryj re tender, there's very little one can't eat raw. What little there, is, should be stewed up. , .".fi.. ,J Celery cooked alone and buttered is appreciated ,by somer other families like it creamed. But the best use of celery is to combine with other flavors to make both better, i v j We've long been a lover of celery sauteed with com. Now we find a suggestion for frozen peas and celery. Cook the celery, until almost tender, then add the frozen pea. (can use draiaed canned ones if you like) and cook until latter are done M We've often talked about that soup we love, made with lots or celery a generous sprinkling of celery salt, and nice cubes of Potato combined with milk and slightly thickened. Here is an other soup that includes celery: CREAM OF OLIVE AND CELEEY SOW (Serves ) ' i- i 2 cups diced celery and 1 cup green olives, choppe chonoed leaves S tablespoons butter small onion, minced V cup Hour teaspoon salt cup. mu. Cook celery and onion in a small amount of salted water until tender. Cook olives in butter 2 minutes. Stir in; flour add milk, cook until thickened. Add celery and onion mixture. Reheat As It says in the recipe, use the leaves. They have a wealth; of flavor and help along to add a goodness to the dishes. Just glancing at one cookbook, we find listed such cooking uses for celery as, celery in tomato puree, celery braised, creamed, on fritters, salad, soup with cheese, spiced celery, stuffed andl celery tops as a garnish, , , :s The new cheese mixtures that come in glass containers make stuffing celery very simple, any of the many will do. Cream cheese used to be the standby, but now a variation of flavor cart be obtained by having an assortment of the soft cheeses on hand. Here's a last recipe, then well leave you to your own research in your favorite cookbook. Jaffersoa The TaXbet Woman's club met Wednesday afternoon, at the home of Mrs. R. Roger Irwin.
