Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan. Mix the diced carrot, diced onion,
diced celery heart or diced celery and saute until it begins to
brown. Add the flour and stir until brown. Add the peppercorns and
the parsley. Stir well and add the water and stock. Simmer for 2
hours, stirring occasionally. Sauce should be the consistency of
whipping cream. Strain.
