Ingredients

1 (1-lb) bag celery hearts (about 2)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Keeping celery ribs attached at base, peel outer ribs of celery hearts with a vegetable peeler, then trim ends and halve hearts lengthwise.

    Step 2

    Melt butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat. Add celery and cook, turning with tongs occasionally, until pale golden on all sides, about 8 minutes.
