Zero waste broccoli mash
Ingredients
- 2 broccoli stalks
- 2 small potatoes
- olive oil or butter
- nutmeg
- salt
- pepper
- pumpkin seeds optional
Instructions
- Rinse the broccoli and potato stems.
- Peel with a peeler the broccoli stalks to remove the hard parts. Cut the base of the florets to peel them more easily.
- Peel the potatoes.
- Cut potatoes and broccoli florets into small pieces.
- Steam for 15 to 20 minutes. Check the cooking time with the tip of a knife.
- When the vegetables are cooked, mash them with a fork or with a masher in a salad bowl, adding a knob of butter or a drizzle of olive oil.
- Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- Just before serving, you can sprinkle a few squash seeds over the mash, add a few broccoli florets if you have any, and a little parsley or coriander!
Notes
Broccoli stalks are edible but often we don't have the reflex to use them.
You can use them to make a mash as proposed here or add them to a soup, a wok, a quiche or a flan for example.
