Braised Celery - A Simple Side Dish

Claire | Sprinkle and Sprouts
This braised celery really is such a simple side dish. The recipe has just 5 ingredients, including salt and pepper; turning an underused vegetable into a delicious savory side. The celery flavor mellows as it cooks, leaving it soft enough to easily cut with a knife but still with enough crunch to keep it interesting. Perfect to pair with meat for a low carb dinner. Or add it to your Thanksgiving or holiday table for something a little different!
