Celery still seems a slightly under sung vegetable but its delicious cooked.

Method

01
Heat the oven to 200°C. Prepare the celery, removing the tough outer layers and cut into 9 cm pieces. Add 1 tablespoon oil to a casserole and put in the shallots (or 2 onions quartered if you do not have shallots!) and cubed bacon and fry for 2 - 3 minutes. Add the celery and fry for a further 2 minutes. Now combine all the remaining ingredients and put the top on the casserole dish and cook for 20 - 25 minutes in preheated oven.
