What each ingredient does
- Celery
- Forms the main body of the stew and supplies its vegetable flavour and texture.
- Stock
- Provides the liquid that cooks the celery and carries flavour into the stew.
- Coulis
- Adds concentrated fruit or vegetable flavour, colour and body to the reduced liquid.
The step that matters
Boil until the stock is reduced. Reducing concentrates the stock's flavour and thickens the liquid. Boiling too hard or too long can over-reduce it and make the stew salty or sticky, so watch it closely.
