BRAISED HEARTS OF CELERY VINAIGRETTE
Braised celery has a much milder flavor than raw celery, and needs a robust, lemony sauce. I was introduced to this dish in France and I've always loved it. It's a great starter or side dish, and it keeps for a few days in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and drop in the celery. Boil until partially cooked, about 3 minutes. Drain, pat dry and lay side by side, cut side up, in a baking dish.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in medium skillet over medium heat and add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes, and add the garlic. Stir together for a minute, until fragrant, and add the stock, lemon juice, and the wine. Bring to a boil on top of the stove and pour over the celery. Season the celery with salt and pepper and lay the lemon slices on top. Cover tightly and place in the oven. Braise for 40 minutes, or until the celery is thoroughly tender but still holds its shape. Remove from the heat and allow the celery to cool in the liquid.
- Using tongs, remove the celery from the pot and cut the halved bunches lengthwise in half again. Transfer to a platter or a wide serving dish. Pour the liquid into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce by about half. Pour over the celery. Drizzle on the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, grind on some pepper, sprinkle on the parsley and serve, or chill and serve cold or at room temperature. Spoon liquid from the platter over each portion.

BRAISED HEARTS OF CELERY WITH PARMESAN
Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter medium (12x9) gratin dish. If using whole celery bunches, remove tough outer stalks and trim the dark and dried out parts of the base, leaving enough of the base that the stalks will hold together. Trim the tops to the bunch is about 5-6 inches long; set the trimmed tops aside for another use. Blanch the celery hearts in a big pot of simmering, well-salted water for 10 minutes. Don't let the water boil too hard or the celery will start to break apart. Cut the leek in quarters lengthwise leaving it attached at the base and rinse away any sand under cold running water. Slice the leek finely into crosswise strips and scatter across bottom of a well buttered gratin dish. When the celery hearts are cool enought to handle, cut each bunch in half lengthwise and arrange in grain dish. Pour over the stock. If necessary to thoroughly moisten the leeks add a littler more stock or water. The leeks should be moist but not swimming in liquid; the celery should be mostly above the liquid. Season with 3/4 tsp salt or to taste. Cover dish lightly with aluminum foil and bake until the celery is meltingly tnder about 1-1 1/2 hours. When celery is done remove foil and carefully pour the broth through a strainer into a small saucepan and add the grated cheese. Place saucepan over high heat to reduce broth to a glaze, about 5 minutes. Pour this over celery and serve.
