Heat the olive oil in one or two large skillets. (Don’t crowd the vegetables.) When the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic and sauté until the cloves just begin to color, about 3 minutes.

Add the diced vegetables, celery leaves and thyme, and turn heat to high. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the vegetables start to color around the edges. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring frequently, 5 to 6 minutes more. Add a splash of water, white wine or chicken stock and cook another 5 to 6 minutes.
- Step 3
When the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized, add the butter and stir. Add the parsley and season aggressively with salt and pepper.

This is a versatile, easy dish and goes well with roasts or even an omelette!
I’ve made this along with Sam Sifton’s Weekend Roast a dozen times and used whatever root-like vegetables I have handy. Sweet potatoes are a great addition, even leeks. Don’t skip the celery leaves.

Surprisingly good. Excellent with roast beef.
Easy dish. Looks good, tastes good, compliments almost anything. Use whatever vegetables and herbs you have available.
