Sedano alla molisana

Sedano alla molisana is a traditional dish originating from Molise. This simple dish is made with a combination of celery, scallions, olives, breadcrumbs, olive oil, and seasonings. The celery is sliced into pieces and blanched in salted water, then sautéed with olives and scallions. The mixture is then placed into a baking dish, sprinkled with breadcrumbs to add more flavor and calories, drizzled with olive oil and baked until the breadcrumbs become browned. This peasant dish is served immediately as an accompaniment to more substantial dishes.
