    and return to pan. Just before serving, mix wine with lemon juice, and add to hot beans.

    large sprigs fresh flatleaf parsley, stalks separated 55g green garlic, cut into 5cm pieces 60g

    and simmer for 11,2 hours until tender. Meanwhile, put the carrot, leek, onion and parsley stalks
    into a large pan. Cover with 700ml water, bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain,
    returning the liquid to the pan. Discard the vegetables. Stir in the garlic and simmer for 5
    minutes. Drain the beans, reserving 150ml of the liquid. Add the beans and the liquid to the broth.
    Stir in the chestnuts, parsley leaves and vinegar. Season and serve.

    Rice and Celery Soup (Minestra di Sedano e Riso)

    vegetable stock Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

    Combine the celery, water, and 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the olive oil in a pot over moderate heat and
    bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer covered for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and set
    aside without draining. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil in a large pot
    over moderate heat. Saute the onion until tender but not brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer
    about half the cooked celery to the pot containing the onion and saute 2 or 3 minutes. Stir in the
    rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the stock and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile,
    puree the celery mixture, including the liquid, in an electric blender or food processor. Strain and
    add it to the soup. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and simmer uncovered until the rice is
    tender but still firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve garnished with chopped parsley. Serves 4 to 6. Bon
