Roasting the onions; Heat 3 tablespoons of Turna Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a medium saucepan. Add finely chopped onion and fry until the onions turn transparent.

Adding Celery and Carrot; Add the diced celery and carrot to the fried onions. Fry the vegetables for about 5 minutes until lightly coloured.

Adding the orange juice and spices; Add orange juice, grated orange peel, salt, pepper and sugar (if you are using) to the pot. Stir the mixture well.

Cooking: Add 1 cup of water to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil. After boiling, turn the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and cook for about 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are getting soft.

Adding dill and serving; When the cooking process is completed, add finely chopped dill and mix. Serve the orange celeriac warm. You can serve this dish as a main course or as a side dish.

The Turna Extra Virgin Olive Oil used in this recipe adds a unique flavour and depth to the dish, while at the same time offering a healthy alternative. Celery with orange, with its light and fresh flavour, is an excellent option especially on warm spring and summer evenings. Bon Appetit!
