Celery, Braise

Place a small mirepoix in a roasting pan, with one ounce melted butter. Let the mirepoix get a nice light brown, then lay six stalks fine, well-cleaned white celery over the vegetables. Season with a teaspoon salt and half teaspoon white pepper; pour in hot water or broth to nearly cover the celery. Briskly boil for five minutes on the range. Cover the celery with a sheet of buttered paper. Set the pan in the oven for forty minutes. Remove, dress the celery on a hot dish and serve.

N. B. Place the remaining mirepoix into the demi-glace pot.
