I have my mother's old Mirro pressure cooker with the rocking jigger valve (I

or more years. It's a decent enough large sauce pan, though - if things don't
need covered.

I just have to remember to ckean the wheels well if I use it for its intended
purpose in the garage- lest it make tracks on my kitchen floor.

Stalk or rib? One of my pet peeves is people who refer to a stalk (bunch) of
celery in a recipe when they really mean an individual rib from the stalk.

      Title: Hoirino me Selino: Lemon Pork w/Celery
 Categories: Pork, Citrus, Stews, Vegetables
      Yield: 8 Servings

  3 1/4 lb Boneless pork; in 2" chunks
  4 1/4 lb Celery with leaves
      2 md Onions; fine chopped
    3/4 c  Olive oil
    1/4 c  Fresh squeezed lemon juice
      1 tb Salt
    1/2 ts Pepper
      3 c  To 4 cups of water

  This stew is a favorite combination of tastes... meat, in
  this case pork, stewed with a green vegetable (celery),
  doused with lemon juice before serving. It's easy and
  delicious.

  This is one of the few Greek recipes that calls for thick
  stemmed celery, and not wild celery.

  Trim and wash the celery. Cut in long strips and cut strips
  into 1 1/2" to 2" pieces. Transfer to a saucepan with cold
  water to cover, bring to a boil, and boil for 10 min. Drain
  and set aside.

  In a dutch oven or stew pot, saut+¬ the onion in hot oil.
  When the onion is soft, add the pork and 3 cups of water.
  Bring to a boil, cover, and cook over medium heat for 45
  minutes. Add celery, salt, and pepper, reduce heat and
  simmer for 25 minutes. Do not stir the pot. Shake gently
  from time totime to prevent meat from sticking.

  Add lemon juice and shake the pot gently. Turn off heat,
  cover, and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

  Note: If more water is needed, add boiling water.

  Yield: serves 8
