Braised Celery

in Gluten Free, Paleo, Side Dish, Vegan, Vegetarian

This is another recipe that came about because I had a lot of celery in the fridge! This is super tasty, and a great side-dish. If you don’t have (or want to use) red wine, I would suggest using cranberry juice for the sweet-tart flavor.
