What each ingredient does
- Celery
- Provides the bulk of the sauce, along with its vegetable flavor and smooth body once pureed.
The step that matters
Rub the celery through a sieve. Cooked celery holds fibrous strands that stay stringy unless pressed through a sieve. Pushing the soft pieces through breaks them down into a smooth puree that gives the sauce an even texture.
