Dried celery green can be used finely chopped wonderfully as a spice
The stew spice - celery dry
Soups and stews get their hearty taste through various herbs. This includes the celery, on the one hand the fresh tuber and on the other the leaves, which you can easily dry yourself.
Dry celery leaves yourself
The fresh leaves of celery can be dried without much effort. You can choose from three different ones
Choosing options:
The dried celery sticks in screw-cap jars for about a year, after which it slowly loses its aroma.
Celery herb air dry
For this you need the leaves of one to two celery tubers. If there is enough space, it can of course be more.
- Cut the stems off the tuber and wash stalks and leaves. Always tie two or three stems together to form a bouquet. Hang the bundles in a dry and warm place and let them dry for at least three days. During this time, the leaves dry to the point where you can continue processing. Take off the bunch of herbs. Strip the leaves and chop them to the desired size. Place the chopped cabbage loosely on a sufficiently large tray or baking tray and allow the celery to dry. He should be back in a dry and warm place. After about ten days, the leaves are completely dried. Now fill the dried cabbage in well-sealable glasses and store them in a dark place.
Dry celeriac in the oven or in the dehydrator
- Wash the celery herb and pluck the leaves from the stems. Lay the leaves loosely on a baking sheet with baking paper. Dry the herbs in the oven or in the dehydrator at about 50 degrees for several hours.
The celery is dry when it crumbles between fingers.
Tips
If you want, you can crumble the dry herb finely and mix with salt to your individual seasoning salt.
