Baked celery with avocado sauce
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Celery root has a very strong aroma, so it's not to everyone's taste. It can be boiled and mashed or baked in pieces, as in this recipe. I add leek and pepper to the celery, which don't overpower the main ingredient's flavor but rather complement it. The avocado sauce is prepared separately, then added to the already baked vegetables. The finished dish is ready to be served.
