Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 small bunches of celery, about 2 pounds
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3/4 cup fresh or canned chicken broth

Steps:

  • Neatly trim the bottom of each bunch of celery, making it clean and smooth. Cut off the celery bunches about 4 inches from the bottom. Save the leafy portion for other uses.
  • Using a swivel-bladed vegetable knife, scrape the outside stalks, rinse well and drain.
  • Boil enough water in a pan to cover the celery bases when they are added. Add the celery and simmer 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat the butter in a skillet large enough to hold the celery bunches compactly in one layer. Sprinkle with onion and add the celery. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add the broth. Bring to a boil and cover tightly. Simmer until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
