GOURMET CELERY STICKS IN MINUTES
You will need:     The measurements aren't exact so use your common sense to say how much you                                                            need depending on the occasion.

Rocket#
Garlic
Oil            
Sunflower seeds      
Salt and pepper      
Cheddar                  
Celery or carrot    
AND a blender.
First you plug in your blender and add some rocket [you'll use the rest later]. Then add the peeled garlic, some seeds and a glug of oil. Blend well then add more rocket, seeds, oil and finally some crumbly cheddar. Blitz again it should now be a thick paste. It doesn't matter if it is a bit lumpy but blend again if you wish. Scoop out and place in a bowl add salt, pepper and water to taste. Stir again to make a nice, thick sauce. Put it aside and cut the celery into sticks. Pour the easy  pesto onto the celery and garnish with the remainder of the rocket. ENJOY !!!!!
#Rocket is a peppery salad leaf which is one of  my favourites.
