Celery ⚖
510081
Stalk celery is a staple of professional kitchens, selected by Le Delas for the firmness of its stalks and the intensity of its flavour. This herbaceous vegetable is distinguished by its fleshy, crunchy and low-fibre stalks, offering a lively, slightly salty flavour. Indispensable for creating classic culinary bases, it provides a fundamental aromatic structure to many dishes in French and international cuisine.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Bases and stocks: An essential component of the aromatic garnish (mirepoix) alongside carrots and onions, it serves as a base for sauce stocks, meat juices and braised dishes.
► Cold dishes: Used raw, it adds texture and crunch to mixed salads. Its ribs can be finely sliced using a mandoline or cut into sticks for raw vegetable platters.
► Preparation: For the finest preparations, it is advisable to peel the outer ribs using a vegetable peeler to remove the toughest fibres. The leaves, which are very fragrant, can be kept to flavour a stock or fried to create an original plate decoration.
► Storage: Keep in a positive-temperature cold room. To retain its crunch and prevent it from going soft, it is best to store it in a humid environment or wrapped in a clean, damp cloth.
