Pork and celery stew

Ingredients :
1 kg of pork
100ml of olive oil
2 medium onions, grated
250ml good, full-bodied white wine
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1½ kg of celery, stalks and leaves
1 bay leaf
salt, pepper to taste

Method :
Clean the celery carefully, removing any sand or grit.
Cut the celery into roughly 5cm (2 inch) pieces and parboil for about 10 minutes in a large pot of boiling water. Add the thicker stalks first and cook them about 5 minutes longer. Drain.
Parboil the pork for about 10 minutes. Drain and dry off the pork.
Brown the pork in batches in a large saucepan with half the oil.
Remove the meat to a plate, add the rest of the oil and brown the onions and garlic over low heat. With a wooden spoon, stir in half the wine, replace the meat, add the tomatoes, bay leaf and salt and pepper and simmer, covered, for about 1 hour.
Add the celery and the rest of the wine and simmer for another hour until both celery and meat are tender.
