Hi,
Today I'm going to show you how to create this delicious and nutritious celery dish.
Ingredients you will need for 4 servings:
2 - 3 stalks (bunch) of Celery
1 1/2 Cup of fresh parsley
1/2 Cup of coriander
Handful of fresh mint AND 1-2 tbsp of DRIED mint
2 Medium sized onions
3 - 4 Dried limes OR 1/2 cup of fresh lime juice
1 tbsp of tomato paste
Vegan mince OR mushrooms OR kidney beans
1/2 tsp of turmeric
1/2 tsp of black pepper
Salt
Neutral oil (rapeseed or avocado or sunflower oil)
Vegan butter (optional)
Serve with basmati rice and saffron or with flat bread of choice.
You can find dried Persian limes at a middle eastern grocery store or on amazon.
This is a traditional Iranian dish called khoreshte karafs, which basically translates to celery stew. It is an easy recipe which contains lots of veggies and dark leafy herbs, which are a great source of iron and essential minerals. This recipe is 100% cholesterol FREE.
The unaltered version of this recipe is a Good source of iron, protein, vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 (mince is fortified with B12), vitamin C, K, folate, Zinc & other vital minerals & nutrients.
To reduce the total fat content of the recipe, you can replace the oil with vegetable stock or water.
The vegan mince provides a good source of dietary protein, but it can be subtitled with mushrooms or kidney beans to reduce the calories of the dish.
Recipe Steps:
Chop the celery stalks into half inch pieces. Separate the celery leaves and put aside for later.
Finely chop the celery leaves and place in a large bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley, coriander and mint and mix with the celery leaves.
Peel and chop the onions and set aside.
Place a large pan onto medium heat and fry the chopped celery with a small amount of a neutral oil.
Now place a smaller pan onto medium heat and lightly sauté onions until they are soft and golden.
Don’t leave the pans unattended and remember to stir continuously as the onions and celery can burn quickly.
Once the onions are soft and lightly golden, add the turmeric and black pepper and mix well.
At this stage add the mince to the onion mixture and stir well. If you don’t have access to vegan mince, you can substitute with raw mushrooms or cooked kidney beans and add them to the dish at this point.
Once the mince has become slightly crispy add the tomato paste, mix well and turn off the heat.
Once the celery is soft and golden remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the herbs to the large pan which contained the celery earlier and sauté on low heat for roughly 10 mins. Once the herbs start becoming slightly darker they begin to release their aroma.
Add the cooked celery back into the pan with the herbs.
Add a pinch of dried mint and mix well.
Cook the celery and herb mixture for a further 5 mins and then add in the mince. If you have used mushrooms or beans instead of the mince you can add them to the pan at this time as well.
Add 3-4 cups of boiling water and allow to simmer on low heat covered for 15-20 mins.
Pierce the dried Persian limes with a fork and add them to the stew. If you can't find dried limes use lime juice instead. Cook for about 10-15 minutes covered until they soften.
Once the limes have softened Press them against the pan, so they release their sour juice.
At this stage add salt and lemon juice as desired. Make sure to taste the stew and adjust the seasoning to your liking before serving.
Serve the stew with basmati rice or flatbread of your choice.
One of my biggest fears when I transitioned to a vegan diet was that I would miss eating the dishes I have grown up to love but animal ingredients can easily be substituted with affordable plant based alternatives like beans and mushrooms.
I hope you give this delicious recipe a try.
