Spicy Chicken Salad with Toasted Fennel and Celery This is one of my favorite lunches, and a great way to use up leftover chicken.
Clams With Celery and Toasted Garlic Most clams you buy have already been scrubbed and soaked to purge any sediment, mud or sand, but it’s still a good idea to give them another scrub once you’re in your own kitchen. And the chorizo (or bacon, or pancetta) is optional; if you leave it out, the recipe is pescatarian.
Crushed Baby Potatoes With Sardines, Celery, and Dill Boiled potatoes are great to keep on hand for out-of-hand snacking and as a quick addition to things like a skillet full of chicken fat or a midday lunch salad, but also excellent as a foil for rich, fatty, tinned fish.
