This vibrant celery and jicama sauté is a wonderful way to introduce a unique crunch to your dinner table. The dish combines the familiar, savoury notes of sautéed celery with the mild, apple-like sweetness of jicama, a versatile root vegetable. Infusing the olive oil with garlic before cooking ensures a delicate depth of flavour, while the addition of fresh lemon zest and flat-leaf parsley provides a bright, zesty finish.
As a naturally vegan side dish, this recipe is incredibly light yet satisfying, making it an excellent accompaniment to grilled proteins or as part of a plant-based spread. High in fibre and vitamin C, it offers a refreshing alternative to traditional greens or roasted vegetables. Serve it warm to fully appreciate the contrast between the tender celery and the crisp, succulent jicama.

Ingredients for Celery and Jícama Sauté
1 (2 1/2-lb) bunch of celery
575g jicama
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoons black pepper
How to make Celery and Jícama Sauté
Peel strings from celery with a vegetable peeler, then cut celery on a long diagonal into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Peel jicama with a sharp knife and cut into 2- by 1/4-inch matchsticks.
Heat oil in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté garlic, turning, until golden on all sides, about 2 minutes. Discard garlic.
Add celery to oil and sauté, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add jicama and sauté, stirring, until slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and remove from heat.
