I hate to see organic broccoli stems thrown away. They're full of nutrients - Calcium, iron, Vitamin C, A...!!
Here's one way to prepare - a delicious dish - raw and nutritious - "Broccoli Stem" Cole Slaw!!!!
Ingredients:
Broccoli Stems
Rainbow Carrots (or any colorful veggies)
Raw or roasted almonds (or any nuts)
Lemon juice
Extra-virgin olive oil or grape seed oil
Apple cider vinegar
Honey
You Need:
A shredder or peeler
Food processor or blender
Direction:
1. Clean up the stems like the picture below:
2. Shred the broccoli stems:
3. Shred the rest of the veggies and mix them with the broccoli shreds:
4. Chop up the almonds into small pieces in food-processor or blender:
5. Mix the nuts into the veggies and season them with olive oil, vinegar and honey. Make sure you press the veggies together with hands or a wooden spoon. It tastes better the next day when the veggies, esp. the broccoli stems soak up the seasoning. Enjoy!
