Braised Celery with Herbs

 

1 small bunch celery, to yield at least 4 1/2 cups sliced

2 1/2 cups vegetable broth

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 tbsp. chopped parsley

2 tsps. dried leaf thyme, crushed

1 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1/4 tsp. salt

3/4 tsp. butter, for garnish

2 tsps. chopped herbs, for garnish

 

Cut celery stalks into diagonal slices about ¼-inch wide. In large saucepan,

bring broth to full boil over HIGH heat, adding chopped onion with herbs and

seasonings. Add sliced celery and return broth to simmer. Reduce heat and cook

for 4-5 minutes, or until barely tender. Do not allow to lose full crispness.

Drain immediately and place in a serving bowl. Toss with butter and additional

herbs. Serve hot. Yields 4 servings.
