Broccoli Stems and Leaves.

[Addie]

Slice the stems and cook with the florets. Waste not want not. I like them raw in salads too.

Give it a try Zagut. Peel them first. Then slice into match sticks. If you find that you don't like them raw, then you like them cooked. Next place the cooked and peeled pieces in the fridge, and later use in a salad.

Do a version of Korean veggie and seafood patty (yachaejeon). Shred the stems and leaves like you would do with potatoes if you were making hash browns, then mix the shredded stems/leaves with beaten eggs, some flour, chopped scallion, salt, and some finely chopped ahrimp and imitation crab.

Form into patties and shallow fry in a neutral oil like grapeseed.

If you like spicy, add some minced jalapeno, and serve with gochujang (spicy red pepper paste - sort of like Korean ketchup, but a little spicy).
