Ukrainian celery sauce

Celery is use a lot in Ukrainian cooking but in the market I saw more the root and not the stalks.

The basic idea is you just have to chop it, but better is with celery root, into pretty small pieces and fry with one tablespoon of butter. Low to medium heat and simmer for three minutes. Then pour water and cover this and leave it for ten minutes and add salt and white pepper and after it is done, blend it.

Add some sour cream or yogurt like two tablespoons. yogurt is lighter but sour creaming makes it taste better. Yogurt is if it is a cold version.

After you blend it add the above, you can warm it. If you add yogurt to something hot it will turn into cheese, so only add sour cream after warming, yogurt is the cold version.

Sprinkle a little with green celery garnish.

This is a basic Ukrainian celery sauce. My family is from Western Ukraine near Tarnopol, and I am sure there are regional variations.
