After having to put up with the so-called 'sweet and sour sauce' that they serve in American Asian restaurants (theirs are only sweet), I got this recipe from a friend in Alaska when I was stationed up there years ago.

SWEET-AND-SOUR CELERY (SEPHARDIC PASSOVER APIO)



Sweet-And-Sour Celery (Sephardic Passover Apio) image

This Turkish Passover dish is from this month's "Gourmet Magazine" (April 2009). As the celery cooks, it soaks up the braising liquid and becomes silky. Cooks' note: Celery can be braised 1 day ahead and chilled. Reheat over low heat, adding more water if necessary, or reheat in a microwave. Add celery leaves and parsley before serving.
