Recipe Notes
This recipe makes 9 servings. Each serving is 1/3 stuffed celery stalkYou can use fresh or dry herbs in this recipe. You can replace a tablespoon of fresh herbs with one teaspoon of dry herbs. You can control the texture of the filling by blending it more or less. I prefer to have the mixture more on the chunky side so I only give it a few pulses. https://fb69567605ad3aa4f5cc817e1a719c9a.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html
