Celery stew with olive oil and orange is made with celery root, olive oil, onion, and orange juice. Carrot is a common addition, and some versions include potato. Lemon juice may be used to keep the cut celery root from browning.
To make celery stew with olive oil and orange, briefly cook chopped celery root and vegetables with olive oil, then simmer them with orange juice and a little water until tender. Cut the vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
Celery stew with olive oil and orange is commonly served cold or at room temperature, as with many Turkish olive-oil vegetable dishes. Letting it rest after cooking allows the citrus and olive-oil flavors to settle into the vegetables.
You can use celery stalks, but they will not give celery stew with olive oil and orange the same texture or flavor as celery root. The Turkish dish is usually made with the bulbous root; stalks cook faster and can turn soft more quickly.
Celery stew with olive oil and orange can taste bitter if the celery root is old, the orange’s white pith gets into the dish, or the citrus is overly bitter. Use fresh celery root and add the orange juice gradually, tasting as you go.
Put peeled, chopped celery root in a bowl of water with lemon juice while you prepare the other ingredients. This slows browning from air exposure. Drain the pieces before adding them to celery stew with olive oil and orange.
Yes, celery stew with olive oil and orange can be made with lemon juice instead, but it will taste sharper and less fruity. Add lemon gradually, since orange juice brings a gentle sweetness that balances celery root’s distinctive flavor.
Celery stew with olive oil and orange pairs well with rice, yogurt, or other vegetable dishes. It is often served as part of a Turkish meal alongside a simpler main dish, where its citrus flavor adds a fresh contrast.
Cool leftover celery stew with olive oil and orange, transfer it to a covered container, and refrigerate it. Use a clean utensil when serving and take out only the portion you plan to eat to help keep the rest fresh.
Yes, you can freeze celery stew with olive oil and orange, but the celery root and other vegetables may become softer and release water after thawing. For the best texture, eat it fresh; if freezing, use an airtight container and portion it first.

Celery stew with olive oil and orange is a Turkish-style dish made with celeriac—the celery root—rather than just celery stalks. The root is gently cooked with olive oil and orange juice; carrots and onion are common additions in home versions. Orange softens celeriac’s earthy flavour with a mild sweet-tart note.
It is usually served at room temperature or chilled, as a meze or vegetable side, and works well alongside other small dishes or a simple main. The pieces turn tender while keeping their shape, and the dish is light, with some fibre from the vegetables. Serve it with crusty bread to catch the juices, or pair it with grains for a more substantial meal.
