How to Save Broccoli

You know what I love? I love saving. I love saving things. I love saving time. I love saving money

and I like not wasting things. One of my favorite vegetables is broccoli, and a lot of people make

the mistake of wasting a big portion of the broccoli. Sometimes when you buy broccoli

it's like mostly stalk, and you've got the tiny little crowns up top, but you don't have to

do what most people do, which is cut the stalk off and throw it in the trash. There's a couple

of reasons why not to do that. Number one, this is the nutrient super highway of this super

vegetable. So you want to eat it. You don't want to waste it. And there are a couple of different

things that you can do with it. I'm sure that you're thinking broccoli slaw, which is true

It's very common. And then here's another really neat thing that you can do with it. Cut it into

matchstick sizes and shapes, really thin little pieces like this. And then what I've got is a

little olive oil going in my pan. I'm going to cut up a clove of garlic, toss my matchsticks into

the oil. I'm going to saute these bad boys up with a little garlic and a salt and pepper

and these are a tasty little snack or side dish to any of your poultry or beef

So not only is this a great way to not waste your broccoli stalks, it's a good way to get fiber in

your diet. It's an unexpected little snack or a treat that your guests will like. This is another
