Celery rice pilaf is rice cooked pilaf-style with celery, which may be added as diced root or tender stalks and leaves depending on the recipe. The celery gives the grains a gentle, savoury herbal aroma and adds soft pieces to the otherwise fluffy texture. It works as a simple home-cooked side rather than a heavily seasoned centerpiece.
