Braised Celery Hearts

INGREDIENTS

2 celery hearts
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp ground pepper

DIRECTIONS

Keeping celery ribs attached at base, peel outer ribs of celery hearts with a vegetable peeler. Trim ends of celery and halve hearts lengthwise to make four pieces.

Warm a heavy, 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add butter and melt. Add celery. Turn the celery with tongs occasionally and cook for about 8 minutes, until lightly golden on all sides.

Add the broth, salt, and pepper and cover the skillet. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the liquid has evaporated and the celery is tender and golden. Serve warm.
