Celery and anchovies gratin

Method

1. Cut off the rough outside bits of the celery: chop and boil for 10 to 15 minutes in salted hot boiling water, then drain it carefully.
2. Toast the grated bread in a non-stick pan with two spoonfuls of oil.
3. Cook the celery bits and half of the chopped anchovy fillets in a pan with 3 spoonfuls of oil.
4. Butter a baking pan.
5. Lay the celery in layers and sprinkle each layer with grated bread.
6. Garnish the surface with the remaining anchovy fillets and a few butter curls.
7. Place in the oven at 200 °C to cook au gratin for approximately 20 minutes.

Chef's tip

If you do not want to use butter, you can easily leave it out, the result will still be outstanding!
