Celery Root Stew is a perfect vegetarian recipe to enjoy with the whole family. Hearty, comforting and so yummy!
Many people find the scent of celery nasty, but it gives me such a great appetite that I am easily tempted by fresh celery at market. I’ve shared two recipes of celery root before: Celeriac With Quince and Celery Root Salad. These are already my favorite celery root recipes, but I’m always open to new recipes to use this healthy vegetable.
Today I will share a celery root stew recipe I learnt from a friend at college. It was the first time I ate celery root and I was impressed with its flavor. This stew is both healthy and flavorful with the ingredients. Celery root and apple match very well with their taste and textures in this stew.

I am one of those that’s turned off by the smell of celery, but I can’t imagine soup/stew without it… I love it when it’s cooked… I don’t like it raw. 🙂
That photo looks delicious!!!
Celery root isn’t something you see too often in the stores here. I love it so I tried growing it. The first year I got small bulbs but had put them in late. Last year I put them in much earlier but they were totally useless probably because of too much rain. All roots and stalk, no bulb at all. Used a bit of the stalks but they are so much tougher than regular celery. I will keep this recipe though. It sounds tasty tasty.
Çok severim Zerrin. Ellerine sağlık.
I have recently grown to like celery – great recipe!
Celeriac is one of my favorites. I think this would be a nice spring stew.
