Pan-Cooked Celery With Tomatoes And Parsley
- 1 bunch celery, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 anchovy, rinsed and chopped (optional)
- 1 14-ounce can chopped tomatoes in juice
- 3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Pinch of sugar
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1. Place the celery in a steamer above 1 inch of boiling water. Cover and steam 5 minutes, until just tender when pierced with a knife. Remove from the heat and drain.
- 2. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the garlic. Stir until it smells fragrant, about 30 seconds, and add the anchovy if using, tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, a pinch of sugar and salt and pepper. Stir together, then stir in the celery.
- 3. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the mixture is fragrant, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Stir in the remaining parsley just before serving.
