    2                    Onions, peeled and chopped
    2                    Carrots, peeled and chopped
    3       tb           Olive oil
    1       lg           Head of celery
    2                    Potatoes, unpeeled, scrubbed
                         -- and diced
    1 1/2   l            Water (2 1/2 pints) (or duck
                         -- stock, chicken stock)
                         Sea salt
                         Black peppercorns
                         Fresh parsley, chopped
 
   Soften the onions and carrots in the olive oil in a
   heavy, covered pan. Wash and scrape the celery sticks,
   split the main part of each one vertically and cut it
   into 2.5 cm (1 in) lengths. Stir the celery into the
   pan and leave it to steam-cook for 20-30 minutes over
   a low heat to bring out the flavour. Add the washed
   and diced potatoes, cover with the water, season with
   a little salt and a few black peppercorns, bring to
   the boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the chopped
   parsley and liquidize.
