Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Heads celery
1 small Onion,; thinly sliced
1 Carrot,; thinly sliced
½ cup Fresh or canned chicken stock or broth
Salt and freshly-ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Flour
2 teaspoons Butter,; softened
¼ cup Chopped fresh parsley; (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 10-inch ovenproof dish. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Remove leaves and tough ends from celery, cut each head in half lengthwise, and add to boiling water. Return to a boil and cook 8 to 10 minutes. Drain carefully. Place onion, carrot and chicken stock in prepared baking dish. Top with celery. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and bake until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. In a small bowl, mix flour and butter together to a smooth paste. Remove dish from oven, and transfer vegetables to a platter, leaving juices in pan. Whisk flour and butter mixture into remaining liquid. Over high heat, quickly bring back to a boil and simmer until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour over vegetables and sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Yield: 4 servings.
