Instructions
In a large pot, sauté the onion and celery in the olive oil, over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Add the trahana to the pot, and mix well, coating the grains with oil.
Add the grated tomato, chilli puree and water and bring to a boil, stirring very often. Once you have reached a boil, reduce heat to medium and continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until the trahana is tender (approx 45 minutes).
