1151. BRAIZED CELERY, WITH ESPAGNOLE SAUCE.
CLEAN twelve heads of celery, cut them about six inches in length, and trim the roots neatly; parboil them in water for ten minutes, and then immerse them in second-course dishes; drain them on a sieve, and afterwards place them in a stewpan with some blanc (No. 235), and braize them gently over a slow fire for about an hour; when done, drain them upon a napkin trim and dish them up in the following order: First place five hearts of celery the same way in the dish, then four, two, and one, respectively; garnish round with some small circular croûstades of fried bread, about an inch in diameter, and filled with beef marrow, previously boiled for three minutes in water with a little salt, and afterwards tossed in a stewpan with a little liquid glaze, lemon-juice, pepper and salt; pour some bright Espagnole sauce (incorporated with a pat of butter and a little lemon-juice) over the celery, and serve.
