Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, and salt. Cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water; cover, and cook until celery is tender, about 5 minutes.
