Stuffed Celery with Hazelnuts/Sedano Farcito alla Nocciola
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 ribs celery, cleaned and cut into 2-inch lengths
- 1 1/2 cups fresh ricotta cheese at room temperature
- 1/3 cup hazelnuts
- 2 sprigs fresh parsley, stemmed
- 1 whole clove peeled garlic
- Salt
- Filippo Berio extra virgin olive oil
- Ingredients
Directions
- Ingredients
- Place the ricotta cheese in a bowl and whip it with an immersion blender until it is smooth. Set aside
- In a small food processor, pulse the nuts, parsley and garlic together. Add all but 2 tablespoons of the nut mixture to the cheese and salt to taste. Mix well. Transfer the mixture to a tipless pastry bag and pipe into celery.
- Arrange on platter and sprinkle with remaining nuts and a drizzle of oil.
- Note: If you wish to remove the thin paper-like wrapping from the nuts, boil them for a few minutes in a small pan with 2 cups of water and 3 tablespoons of baking soda. When a slight squeeze of the nut causes the paper to part from the nut, remove from the water and cool until you can handle them easily.

Mary Ann is a delight. Cooks great food, great ideas, and stays current with our life and times. I view her show on Monday mornings at 7 a.m. CST in the Baton Rouge/Gonzales area on PBS3. Love her show.
Does her book cover Gluten Free Pasta and the best type to buy? I love pasta; but haven’t been eating it very much since learning of my allergies. I know she said rice pasta; can she give me a cook brand. Thanks.
Wish I were her neighbor, Mary Ann is true.
