Sweet and Sour Celery

Ingredients 3/4 cup water 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 3 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons mild honey 4 pounds celery (2 to 3 bunches, any dark green outer ribs peeled), cut into 2-inch pieces, reserving about 1 cup inner celery leaves 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Instructions 1. Cut a round of parchment paper to fit just inside a wide heavy 6-to 8-quarts pot, then set round aside. 2. Simmer water, lemon juice, oil, honey, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in pot, stirring, until honey has dissolved. Stir in celery (but not leaves) and cover with parchment round. Simmer until tender and liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup, 35 to 40 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, coarsely chop reserved leaves. 4. Serve celery sprinkled with celery leaves and parsley

Description Sometimes there is something you just have to try.

Notes This is strange for me to share a recipe for celery as I dislike celery usually, but this is very good.
