Baked Celery
"By my recollection, this dish is very similar to one my Irish grandmother cooked. Cooked celery as a side-dish vegetable seems to be out of vogue now, but it really is quite good."

Oh, this was wonderful. My great-grandmother used to make this dish. I just loved the celery flavor baked. I followed this recipe exactly and it finished beautifly! Thanks Lennie.....I ate most of it myself. -
Did this baked celery with our pork chops tonight, very very good Lennie, cut the recipe in half for the two of us, turned out great! no changes required. Thanks for a good one Lennie, will use it again. -
This was a very surprising dish. My family loved it -
Imade this using 1/2 bunch of celery. I should have halfed the liquid ingrediants also. The celery was crispy tender and the onions added a nice flavor. I will make this again. -
This was nice. Thank you. Made a few changes like adding more bacon, and had to use italian herbs instead, which has parsley in there amongst others, as I didn't have any parsley on its own.

The only change I made was to use bottled parsley flakes instead of fresh parsley. This was a different side dish and a good way to use up some celery. I wasn't crazy about the appearance of the bacon after cooking. If I make it again, I think that I'll leave it out until serving and top the celery with cooked and crumbled bacon. Thank you for posting this recipe.
