This delightful Blue Cheese, Pecan & Cranberry Stuffed Celery recipe is a perfect blend of creamy, crunchy, and sweet flavors. It’s a quick and easy appetizer or snack that combines the tangy taste of blue cheese with the sweetness of dried cranberries and the crunchiness of pecans, all elegantly presented on crisp celery stalks.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the celery stalk under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the celery stalk into 3-4 inch (7-10 cm) pieces, depending on your preference.
- Place the pecans on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to coarsely chop them into smaller pieces. You want them to be small enough to mix easily but still give a crunch.
- In a small bowl, combine the blue cheese, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans.
- Use a spoon or fork to mix the ingredients together until they are well combined. You may want to slightly mash the blue cheese to help it blend with the other ingredients.
- Take a spoonful of the blue cheese, cranberry, and pecan mixture and gently press it into the hollow side of each celery piece. Fill them generously but ensure the filling stays in place.
- Arrange the stuffed celery pieces on a serving platter.
- Optionally, garnish with a few extra chopped cranberries and pecans on top for added visual appeal.
- Serve immediately as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. These stuffed celery sticks are best enjoyed fresh when the celery is crisp.
Tips:
- Ensure your celery stalks are fresh and crisp for the best texture and presentation.
- Soaking dried cranberries in warm water for a few minutes can make them juicier and more flavorful.
- Feel free to toast the pecans lightly before use to enhance their nutty flavor.
- For easier handling, slightly soften the blue cheese by leaving it at room temperature for a few minutes before mixing.
- Cut the celery stalks into 3-4 inch pieces for perfect bite-sized appetizers.
Blue Cheese, Pecan & Cranberry Stuffed Celery is not only a breeze to prepare but also packs a punch of rich flavors and textures.
