Broccoli
Posted by Alessandra | Under Vegetables Friday Feb 26, 2010I love broccoli, it is full in vitamins C, K and A. It is also a great source of dietary fiber and it is believed to be anti-cancer!!!
I also love it because it is easy to cook, you can boil, steam it or even eat it raw.
I like to buy it fresh (not frozen). That way I can use the flowers as well as the stalk. This is what I like to do:
First rinse it well, and then hold the broccoli by the flowers and using a julienne peeler, peel the stalk. This will make broccoli juliennes.
Usually this would be the part you throw away, but why not use it right? It is great for stir fry, salads or even just add to sauces or pasta.
