I always steam broccoli tops and the next day I make this side dish with the

stems. It's a good one.

 

" Grated Broccoli Stems "

 

Stems from 2 bunches of broccoli

2 oz. parmesan or 2/3 cup shredded

3 tblsps. olive oil

dash of salt

1/8 to 1/4 red pepper flakes

 

Peel and grate broccoli stems. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium

heat. Add the grated broccoli stems and salt. Toss to coat. Cover and reduce

heat and simmer to cook. Stir occasonially until tender about 10 minutes. Stir

in the red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute more. Turn off the heat and stir

in the parmesan and serve.

wow what a great idea Donna!!

I always dump my stems in the compost, or use them for stock. If I have stock,

they go in the compost. This is great.

This gives me another idea, take these broccoli stems and grate them, grate some

carrot and whatever other veggie too like maybe some cabbage, and fry in some

oil and garlic and maybe some onion, and add some soy sauce, no, fry in SESAME

oil, yes! and then stuff eggroll wrappers with it,

and fry them in veg oil, yum. I usually so something like this with the broccoli

slaw, but this would save money.

we always steam the stems right along with the broccoli florets... when

my daughter was little she only liked the stems (she called them the

stocks.. sometimes socks... she was young!)

 

the broccoli stocks give a nice crunch to the dish... We peel them w/ a

carrot peeler to remove the outer thick layer, then slice and steam.

they take a little longer, like carrots do, but we just toss them in

the pot to steam with the other hard veggies (ie.. carrots,

cauliflower) then add the broccoli toward the end.

 

=) had it this way this weekend along with brown rice & savory sauce..

yummmmm
