Celery Polynesian
Makes 5 servings
Ingredients
10 medium stalks celery, sliced diagonally into 1/4-inch pieces
8 oz can/tin sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 TB instant chicken bouillon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp celery salt
1 tsp vegetable oil
2 oz diced pimentos, drained
Directions
Cook and stir celery, water chestnuts, instant bouillon (dry), salt, and celery salt in oil over medium heat, turning vegetables constantly with a spatula, until celery is crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in pimentos and heat through.
NOTE: I completely omitted the 1/2 tsp salt, figuring the bouillon and celery salt would be salt aplenty; it was still extremely salty. My recommendation would be to cut back on the bouillon a bit, omit the salt, and substitute ground celery seed for the celery salt, maybe 1/4 tsp of that.
Also, the picture below shows 4 oz of SPAM added, because I wanted a main dish instead of a side dish. Just included it at the beginning and cook alongside the celery, et al.
