You’re definitely talking about the stems and leaves of broccoli (or cauliflower)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They often end up straight in the garbage or organic waste, but they are actually the most noble and nutritious part of the plant. The broccoli stem has a texture similar to the heart of an artichoke and is surprisingly sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how to make the most of this precious “waste”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Raw: Imitation crab meat or Carpaccio
    When peeled correctly, the stems are incredibly tender and crunchy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How to: Remove the woody outer skin with a vegetable peeler until you reach the pale, almost translucent inner part.
    The idea: Cut them into matchsticks or very thin slices. Season with lemon, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and a pinch of pepper. They’re perfect in winter salads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. The “empty-the-fridge” cream soup
      The stems are rich in fiber and add an incredible creaminess to soups without using too many potatoes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      How to make: Dice the stems and boil them with other vegetables or simply with an onion.
      The finishing touch: Blend everything with an immersion blender. You’ll get a thick, delicate, and super filling soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Crispy leaves (like kale chips)
        Don’t throw away the green leaves attached to the stems!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        In the oven: Wash them, dry them well, season them with a drizzle of oil and salt, and bake them at 180\u00b0C for a few minutes until they’re crispy. They’re a healthy snack, packed with minerals.
        Why are they so good for you?
        Vitamin C: Often contains more than the florets themselves.
        Fiber: Aids digestion and increases the feeling of satiety.
        Zero waste: Using the stalk means consuming 100% of what you paid for at the market.
        Grandma’s tip: If you’re steaming broccoli, cut the stalk into thin rounds and place it at the bottom of the steamer basket: it will cook in the same time as the more tender florets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Do you have any stalks in the fridge right now? If you’d like, I can suggest a quick recipe for a broccoli stalk pesto, perfect for pasta!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
