Photo: Celery Gratin Recipe
Directions
Combine 1 bunch sliced celery, 1 teaspoon salt, and water to cover in a medium skillet. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium low and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed. Push the celery to one side of the skillet. Add 2 tablespoons each butter and flour and 1/4 teaspoon each nutmeg and pepper to the other side; cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add 2 cups milk; cook, stirring all of the ingredients together, until creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Mix 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 3 tablespoons grated parmesan, 3 chopped scallions and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley; sprinkle over the celery mixture and broil until golden.

The recipe presentation is poor. It takes much longer than 10 minutes to prepare. It lacks a summary of the ingredients. It lacks the serving count. It should be more precise - what's the size for the celery chopping?
The result was disappointing at well. As noted by another reviewer, there is way to much filling. Maybe reduce by half. Also, the celery gets overcooked following these steps and can barely be tasted. Steps should be revised as well to reduce the time the celery is cooked.
