Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Neatly trim the bottom of each bunch of celery, making it clean and smooth. Cut off the celery bunches about 4 inches from the bottom. Save the leafy portion for other uses.

  2. Step 2

    Using a swivel-bladed vegetable knife, scrape the outside stalks, rinse well and drain.

  3. Step 3

    Boil enough water in a pan to cover the celery bases when they are added. Add the celery and simmer 5 minutes. Drain.

  4. Step 4

    Heat the butter in a skillet large enough to hold the celery bunches compactly in one layer. Sprinkle with onion and add the celery. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add the broth. Bring to a boil and cover tightly. Simmer until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
