kitchen tip: use those broccoli stems

If you don’t have a Grant around to chop up your broccoli stems, try my lazier method and make them into stock. I made an enormous batch of roasted broccoli over the weekend and was too lazy to chop up all of those fibrous stems, so I dumped them into my stock pot instead (along with lots of onion, carrot, and celery ends). After about an hour on the stove (or a half hour in a pressure cooker), I had some yummy and very broccoli-esque stock ready to go that I then used in my roasted broccoli soup (recipe coming later this week, so make the stock today!).
