Title: Stewed Celery
Categories:
Yield: 4 Servings
Break apart and wash very carefully three heads of
good celery; cut off the green portions and leave
the outside stalks to season soups; cut the celery
into pieces an inch long and add just enough
boiling water to cover them; add salt to the water
before putting celery in; boil slowly. When
tender, drain and place neatly on a vegetable
dish, sprinkle over it some black pepper; pour off
part of the water, but save it in case of need,
till the stew is completed. Wet into a smooth
paste a teaspoonful of corn starch, and add the
same quantity of flour, two tablespoonfuls of
butter, and the same of rich cream; stir this into
the water over the fire till it thickens, and then
pour over the celery. If too thick add some of the
water left over.
