Did you know that broccoli stems have the same delicious flavor as the florets?  It’s actually my favorite part of the vegetable. I always used to munch on the stems while cooking when I was using the florets in a recipe. It dawned on me that since they’re so yummy, and since I love being frugal and using all the different parts of food, they really deserved their own recipe.  This is what I’ve started making whenever I have leftover stems laying around. It’s so delicious that we purposefully shop for broccoli with large stems now! Have you tried this recipe?  What did you think of it? Let me know in the comments below!
