I am always trying to create something delicious, something completely scrumptious, that will satisfy my hunger, as well as my very spoiled taste buds.
For those of you who don’t know me, I now have normal cholesterol levels and I no longer depend on medication!
I lowered my cholesterol by exchanging some of my meals with plant-based foods and exercising.
I don’t diet, I don’t restrict myself. I eat anything and everything I want to, but I make sure, that I exercise and that 80% of whatever I eat, is plant-based.
This is one of the plant-based meals we had this week.
Celery steak topped with garlic fried mushrooms and served on a tarragon tomato sauce
It was wildly delicious!
1 root celery
2 large baking potatoes
2 big shallot onion
1 big clove of garlic
Sea salt
pepper
olive oil
10-15 dark mushrooms
2 cloves of garlic
Peel the root celery and the potatoes, grate them and put them in a bowl. Finely chop the shallot and squeeze the garlic, add them to the bowl and mix well. Add sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
Now take a portion of the mixture and with both hands squeeze all the water out while making little celery/potato “cakes”. Turn the oven on – to 350F.Ā In a frying pan, put in some olive oil and heat up the pan and brown the celery steaks on both sides and put them on a baking tray and place them in the hot oven to finish them of, about 30-45 min .
While they bake – rinse the mushrooms and roughly chop them. Finely chop the shallot onion. Heat the pan again adding a bit more olive oil, fry the mushrooms and when they start to brown add the chopped shallot onion and the freshly squeezed garlic.
Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper – set aside.
For the sauce
Use 3 big fresh tomatoes or a small can
1 shallot onion
1 garlic clove
a teaspoon of tarragon
Sea salt and pepper
Chop the tomatoes, chop the onion and squeeze the garlic. Add some olive oil to a saucepan, saute the onions and the garlic, add the tomatoes, add the tarragon and cook for 5 min while stirring. Put everything in the blender and blend into a smooth sauce, season with salt and pepper.
When the celery steaks are ready arrange it all on a plate and top with some fresh arugula.
Enjoy!

That looks great Anne. Love the garlic fried mushrooms. I could eat a big bowl of them on their own!
Me too Cass – I love mushrooms š
These garlic fried mushrooms are so good on the celery steak!
I am not a fan of celery, but you’ve made it look so delicious š
I use to hate celery, but now I really love it – maybe it’s my age š This combination is great!
Thank you for visiting Paula!
This is a very elegant and tasty dish! I love mushrooms and garlic!
Thanks Katerina!
I love mushrooms and garlic too – could eat it every day, easily š
I’m a real mushroom addict, and love celery and garlic too. Thanks for the recipe. It sounds very tasty, I’ve copied it to my recipe file for a meatless dinner. š How many portions did this make?
Me too – a true mushroom addict š
I love that you have a recipe file for meatless dinners and that you have added one of my recipes to your file – how cool is that š Thank you!
This recipe made 6 celery steaks – I would say one person eats 2 maybe 3, if you are really hungry.
Hope you enjoy them!
Thanks so much for the extra info, anne. I look forward to trying the recipe out once my kitchen is in a more useable state. Hubby did wear proper footwear today for the jack-hammering bit. š
Oh my goodness! Celery Steaks!?! So incredible Anne, you’ve got such a talent. And that sauce!
Irresistibly delicious!
Thank you – they really were delicious! I will make them again š
