What is Celery with olive oil?
Zeytinyağlı kereviz is a Turkish dish of celeriac cooked gently with olive oil, often with carrot and onion, and sometimes lemon or orange juice. The root softens while keeping its mild, distinctive celery aroma; the vegetables become subtly sweet, and the olive oil leaves the dish tender rather than rich or heavy.
In Turkey it is commonly served cool or at room temperature as a meze or vegetable side, often alongside bread, rice, or other olive-oil dishes. Its 65 calories per 100 g make it a light option. For a more filling meal, pair it with beans, lentils, or another source of protein.

Frequently Asked Questions About Celery with olive oil
What is zeytinyağlı kereviz?
Zeytinyağlı kereviz is a Turkish dish of celeriac braised with olive oil, usually with vegetables such as carrots and onions. The English name “celery with olive oil” can be misleading: the classic dish uses the root, not just celery stalks.
How do you make zeytinyağlı kereviz?
Zeytinyağlı kereviz is made by gently cooking peeled celeriac with olive oil, onion, and usually carrots until tender. Lemon or orange juice is often added, and the dish is commonly left to cool in its cooking pot before serving.
Is zeytinyağlı kereviz made with celeriac or celery stalks?
Zeytinyağlı kereviz is traditionally made with celeriac, the knobby root, rather than celery stalks. Some versions include the leaves for flavor, but stalk celery has a different texture and does not replace the root in the classic dish.
Why does the celeriac turn brown when making zeytinyağlı kereviz?
Celeriac browns when its cut surface is exposed to air. Put the pieces in water with lemon juice as you prepare them, then drain before cooking; adding lemon to the dish also helps keep the flavor bright.
Can you make zeytinyağlı kereviz with orange juice instead of lemon?
Yes, orange juice is a common choice for zeytinyağlı kereviz. It gives the dish a gently sweet, fragrant flavor, while lemon makes it more tart. You can use either, or combine them to balance the taste.
Is zeytinyağlı kereviz served hot or cold?
Zeytinyağlı kereviz is usually served cold or at room temperature. Letting it cool in the pot helps the vegetables hold their shape and the flavors settle; add fresh dill just before serving if desired.
What goes well with zeytinyağlı kereviz?
Zeytinyağlı kereviz pairs well with plain rice, bread, yogurt, or other vegetable dishes. In a Turkish-style meal, it is often served as a chilled olive-oil meze or as part of a spread of small dishes.
How long does zeytinyağlı kereviz last in the fridge?
Zeytinyağlı kereviz keeps for about three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Chill it promptly after serving, and take out only the portion you plan to eat rather than leaving the whole dish at room temperature.
Can you freeze zeytinyağlı kereviz?
Yes, you can freeze zeytinyağlı kereviz, though the celeriac and other vegetables may become softer after thawing. Cool it completely, freeze it in an airtight container, and thaw it in the refrigerator for a better texture.
Can you eat the leaves in zeytinyağlı kereviz?
Yes, celeriac leaves are edible and can add a fresh, savory note to zeytinyağlı kereviz. Wash them well, chop them finely, and stir them in near the end or scatter them over the dish before serving.
