The beauty of broccoli doesn't stop at the florets! Get saucy with those stalks! Not only are broccoli stalks perfectly edible, they're also packed with nutrients like fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants.
For this recipe, all you have to do is remove the very bottom of the stalk and then chop and blend the rest with a few other ingredients to create a zingy, green pesto - ready in 3 steps!
This waste reducing sauce is perfect for pairing with fish, chicken, or our favourite, on this Pumpkin and Broccoli Pasta Salad
