Method
0 of 5 done- Pull off any dark green outer stalks from the celery and set aside the pale inner leaves, keeping about a cup of them. Slice the stalks into 5cm lengths and finely chop the parsley.
- Cut a round of baking paper to fit snugly inside a wide, heavy pot that holds 6 to 7.5-litre, then put the round aside.
- In the pot, bring the water, lemon juice, oil, honey, salt and pepper to a simmer, stirring until the honey dissolves. Add the celery pieces (not the leaves) and cover with the paper round. Simmer gently until the celery is tender and the liquid has reduced to roughly a quarter cup, 35 to 40 minutes.
- While that cooks, coarsely chop the reserved celery leaves.
- Serve the celery scattered with the chopped celery leaves and parsley.
