Celery Stew with Lamb

(Kuzu Etli Terbiyeli Kereviz)

Celery Stew with Lamb
1 medium celery root, peeled and cut in bite sizes
1 1/2 or 2 cups water with 1/2 lemon juice
150 gr lamb, cut in cubes
1 cup hot water
1 small carrot, peeled, washed, sliced
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour
Salt
Pepper
1 egg yolk

Garnish:
1 tbsp dill, chopped

Wash the celery pieces and soak using the 1 1/2 or 2 cups of water with lemon juice to prevent them from darkening.

Meanwhile cook the lamb cubes with their own juice. Then add 1 cup hot water and cook over low heat until the lamb pieces are tender. Then add the celery pieces with the 1 1/2 or 2 cups water with lemon juice, carrot, butter, flour, salt and pepper, stir. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes on medium heat until the celery pieces are softened.

Whisk the egg yolk in a small bowl. Take a ladle of juice of the dish and blend well with the egg. Slowly pour this mixture into the pot while stirring. Cover the lid and simmer for about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle some dill all over and serve.

2-3 servings.

Is the Celery Stew with Lamb filling enough for a main dish? Also, would it taste alright as a meal with Ramadan pide, Fried Egglplant with cheese, and a Chocolate Pear Pie or Baklava? My family is soon hosting a themed dinner party and were thinking of doing turkish food. Would these meal ideas be ok? THANKS BINNUR

Hi Anna:)
You can find Celery Root which is Kereviz in Turkish at every super market or any seller of fruits and vegetables or any open air market (bazaar) in Turkey.

Binnur, I love your website! My husband and I love celery roots. Can I try this with chicken breast instead of lamb?

Hi,
Thank you:) Sure, you can:) You may use chicken broth instead of water.

Hi Binnur,
I would like to make this recipe with celery root, but all I have is lamb necks for stew. Could you please advise how long and what is the best method to cook them to tenderness?
Tashakur!
Claudia

Hi Claudia,

It would be the same method as cooking the lamb cubes. I love cooking the vegetables with the necks which add lots of taste to it:)
Take care,

Hi Binnur,
Thank you so much for your reply. I will make it using your lamb Tandir with Vegetables. Indeed, although I have never cooked lamb necks, I read that they have a lot of flavor. Keep your fingers crossed :). I will let you know how it turned out. I also want to make your Catal today. My HB was born and raised in Istanbul and of course loves turkish food!
Tashakor! Hugs,
Claudia

Indeed Claudia, they have the flavor! I am sure you are a great cook but as you wish I'll cross my fingers:) Catal is very much loved in my home especially it is my daughter's all time fav:) Your husband is very lucky to have you!
Kisses and hugs

Hi Binnur,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I wished I knew more Turkish to show my gratitude to you. Although, I watched and loved Muhtesem Yuzyil, didn't improve my Turkish!
My little ones, 4, girl, and 6, boy, love the Sigara Boregi, and actually eat the phyllo as it is! I made it for them very often, as I have been to your site long before I wrote to you :)! I love cooking, I travelled a lot and like trying new things. Of course, I always cone back to Mediterranean dishes.
Opucuk and Hugs!
Claudia

Thank you Claudia it is very nice of you:) Your hands are full with
cooking for your family! It is a little bit strange to eat yufka as it
is but I always ate them when I bought the fresh ones directly from
the yufkaci ...I really love it!
Opucuk and hugs!

Dear Binnur,
The lamb turned out exquisite! Meat tender, fell off the bones, and the foavour absolutely delicious. The Catal almost gone! I made 12 and have three left!
Wished I could send you some pics for you to see!
Thank you so much!
Bunch of kisses and hugs.
Claudia
