1 celery & leaves
1 teaspoon chicken stock powder
1 ounce butter
1 cup boiling water
to taste ground black pepper
salt (if required)

  • Cut vegetables uniformly: Cutting the celery and carrots into uniform pieces helps them cook evenly.
  • Use good quality bacon: The smokiness of the bacon adds depth of flavor to the dish. Choose a thick-cut bacon for a more pronounced flavor.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy: Crispy bacon adds a nice texture to the dish. Cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crispy but not burnt.
  • Sauté the vegetables in the bacon fat: Sautéing the vegetables in the bacon fat infuses them with flavor. Be sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  • Simmer the vegetables until tender: Simmer the vegetables in the white wine and broth until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. This usually takes about 15 minutes.
  • Season to taste: Season the dish with salt, pepper, and herbs to taste. Fresh thyme and parsley are good choices.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the braised celery and carrots immediately, while they are still hot.
