Herby riso pasta salad

1. Chop the celery into large chunks and heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add the celery and its leaves and sauté gently for 5 minutes. Add the stock and simmer until the celery is soft. Add the lemon juice, season to taste and serve topped with the anchovies.
Cook's note: Braised celery is especially delicious served alongside fish or chicken. Reserve the cooking liquid and chill until needed – warm it up later as a delicious hot drink to sip slowly.
