Ingredients Needed
- 1 bunch (about 10-12 stalks) celery, cleaned and cut into 4-inch pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine
- 1 cube (or 1 teaspoon) chicken bouillon
- 1 cup (240ml) boiling water
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
How To Make Braised Celery
- Prepare the celery: Arrange the celery in a single layer at the bottom of a large skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add butter and broth: Dot the celery with butter. Dissolve the bouillon cube in boiling water and pour it over the celery.
- Simmer until tender: Cover the pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes until the celery is tender.
- Finish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Use fresh celery: Crisp, green celery stalks work best for a tender and flavorful dish.
- Try a vegetable broth: Substitute chicken bouillon with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
- Add depth: A splash of white wine or a bay leaf can enhance the flavor.
- Keep it tender: Simmer gently to avoid overcooking and making the celery mushy.
- Serve with bread: Pair with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Store leftover braised celery in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat leftover braised celery in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water or broth for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
