Roasted Celery and Blue Cheese

Ingredients

Serves: 6 as a side

Prep: 10 minutes

Cooking: 30 minutes

  • 4 bunches of celery – 3 halved, 1 finely diced

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 5 tbsp honey

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 500ml cider

  • 150g blue cheese

  • 25g walnuts

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C. 

  2. Arrange the celery halves in a large baking tray – you may need to trim the tops to fit. Drizzle with the oil and 3 tbsp of the honey. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the cider into the tray and roast until the celery begins to brown, about 25-30 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together the blue cheese, walnuts, parsley, and remaining celery. Season with pepper. 

  4. Spoon the cheese mixture over the cooked celery halves, drizzle with the remaining honey, and serve.
