Homemade Celery Salt Recipe (video)

[Saviolo]

Something dead easy this week. We're making celery salt! It's harvest time here in Ontario, and we're getting lots of amazing fresh veggies from local farmers either at farmers markets or from a local delivery company that delivers direct from farmers. This week we ended up with an enormous bunch of local pink celery. It tastes very much like regular grocery store celery, but much more aromatic and intense in flavour. The leaves are super rich and delicious and have the most wonderful aroma.

It's an easy thing to do, honestly. You want to make sure you're using a pretty coarse salt, because if you use something too fine it will dissolve in the moisture from the celery and clump up badly. You can use bits of stalk in this in addition to the leaves, just make sure they're chopped very finely. In the old one we show at the end of the video, we've got lots of bits of stalk in there, and it works perfectly well. This will stay good on the self at room temp for years. It's salt, nothing can live in it.

1. interesting

I always thought it was made with the seeds.

2. Much more aromatic to use the leaves.

Little bits of the stems are also fine, but there's more aroma in the leaves.

3. I always add them to soups and stews or anywhere I am using celery, really.

sometimes you need celery salt and grinding up seeds or trying to find the ratio is a pain. might need to make up a batch.
