Step-by-Step Method
Prep the celery
Rinse the celery well. Chop the stalks into large pieces and keep the leaves separate for later.
Sauté in butter
Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the celery stalks and stir for 2–3 minutes until they look slightly glossy.
Add water and braise gently
Pour in the boiling water and cover with a lid. Reduce to low heat and simmer for about 55–60 minutes, until tender; add a splash of hot water if the pot gets too dry.
Finish with leaves and seasoning
In the last 10 minutes, stir in the celery leaves. Add salt and black pepper, then taste and tweak the seasoning.
Rest and serve
Take it off the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Serve warm, spooning a little of the cooking liquid over the top.
