Step 1
Combine lemon juice, oil and honey with the water and ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper. -
Step 2
Bring to the boil in a lidded pan large enough to take the celery and when honey has dissolved, add the celery. -
Step 3
Cover and simmer gently until celery is tender and liquid has reduced to a syrupy glaze, about 35 minutes. -
Step 4
If the pot loses liquid too fast before the celery has cooked, top up with a little more water. -
Step 5
When celery is soft coarsely chop reserved celery leaves and sprinkle these over the celery along with the flat leaf parsley.
