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
If this sauce leaves you with broccoli florets to get funky with, you might like to try one of these other 'broc'-ing recipes:
Crispy pastry baskets, jammy stone fruit, whipped cheesecake cream. A make-ahead Easter treat that looks far more impressive than it is.
One eggplant, fanned out and loaded with mozzarella over a garlicky tomato sauce. Impressive-looking, low-effort, and completely worth it.
Slow-cooked lamb belly with butter beans, garlic, herbs and lemon - a rich, one-pot meal with minimal prep and big flavour.
Kale pesto using the whole bunch, stalks included. Quick to blitz, hard to stop putting on everything.
