Step 1
Peel off the strings from the celery stalks, then cut the stalks into batons about 5cm long and 5mm-1cm thick. Heat the butter and oil in a pan, add the celery, season well and stir. Cover tightly and cook over a low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the celery is soft. Sprinkle with the parsley. -

Meanwhile, remove the crusts from the bread and soak it in water. Squeeze out the excess water and blitz the bread in a food processor with the other sauce ingredients until smooth. Serve the celery with the sauce.
