@guarnaschelli Why would you waste broccoli stems? Just cook the whole thing. It's like the time I caught my wife throwing out Mushroom stems and only cooking the caps. There's no need for waste. Use the whole plant.

@guarnaschelli She is a great cook and I like broccoli, but the stems? Not so much! Sorry!

@guarnaschelli I have been since I saw this recipe. And my dogs ADORE broccoli stems warmed up in chicken stock. Which you should also be making at home.

@guarnaschelli Shredded broccoli stems 🥦 + carrots 🥕 also make GREAT brocco-slaw!!! 👍🏽😋

@guarnaschelli All the broccoli gets steamed in this household and the stems get introduced to some chicken stock and cheese in a blender for Monday lunch soup.

@guarnaschelli The stems are trash and half the time they have actually woody pieces in them. If you want to not waste them, turn them into compost instead. Dice them up and mix them into some dirt.

@guarnaschelli No

@guarnaschelli Yummy…Alex 🥦🥦🥦

@guarnaschelli I’ve made this a couple of times now. It’s delicious and changed my husband’s mind about broccoli stems. Actually on the menu for tonight
