Baked Celery With Cream

1 head of celery
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground cilantro
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 cup pecan nut halves
2/3 cup vegetable stock
2/3 cup light cream
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

1) Trim the celery and cut into matchsticks. Place the celery in an ovenproof dish (8x8), together with the cumin, cilantro, garlic and pecans.
2) Mix the stock and cream together and pour over the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3) Mix the breadcrumbs and cheese together and sprinkle over the top to cover the vegetables.
4) Cook in a preheated oven, 400F, for 40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the top crispy. Serve immediately.

Review: This was so yummy and creamy. It only makes two servings, really. The 8x8 dish portion was added by me. If I knew how little it made, I would have immediately doubled the portions. I really recommend it, though. Even if it's just a side. It'd be great at Thanksgiving!
