Green Kitchen Five Delicious Ways To Eat Broccoli Stalks

Green Kitchen is a bi-weekly column about nutritious, inexpensive, and ethical food and cooking. Its penned by the lovely Jaime Green.

Okay, so, for how long am I allowed to open my column with some erence to my continuing, undiminished excitement to have a working oven? Because Im still grateful and a little surprised every time I hear that tick-tick-tick-whoosh of the flame igniting, and I may never lose my renewed appreciation for oven cooking. Mainly the part where I put something in the oven and, as I never could with a pan on a hot plate, walk away. 45 minutes later I have food, and that is glorious.

From El_Matador

More times than not, what Im pulling out of the oven is a sheet of roasted broccoli. I might be addicted. Broccolis not the cheapest vegetable around – I can eat three or four dollars worth in one sitting – but the recipe is super easy and delicious, and since when is eating a pound of dark green vegetables a bad thing?

The only problem is all the stalks left behind. Theyre good enough sliced into discs and roasted along with the florets, but theyre not amazing that way, and Id rather devote baking sheet space to more delectable florets. And so all too often the broccoli stems end up with my eggshells and banana peels, going to compost.

Compost is a very silly – and wasteful, and lazy – fate for perfectly good, edible, healthy vegetable parts. Of course, “edible” isnt exactly high praise, or high incentive for the expenditure of kitchen effort, especially when the couch is so comfy. So here – for you and for me – are five recipes and ideas to keep our broccoli stalks out of the trash, and in our happy mouths and bellies. (Theyre happy because of the broccoli stalks.

1) Fridge pickles. You can make your own pickling brine, or go even more frugal and reuse the brine from a jar of tasty store-bought pickles. Once in a while I splurge on a jar of Ricks Picks, a delicious NYC brand. (Pickling is very chic among Brooklyn hipsters.) When the pickles are gone there is still plenty of goodness left behind in the brine. Peel your broccoli stalks and slice into spears. Pour the brine into a saucepan and bring to a boil, and wash out the pickle jar. Put the broccoli stalks in the jar, then pour in the brine. (Add some white vinegar and water if theres not enough liquid.) Screw on the lid, and pop that jar in the fridge. After two or three days: pickles!

From Cookthink

2) Crudite. Peel and slice into spears and use along with carrots, peppers, and any other raw veggies you like to dip into hummus, dressing, or your spread of choice. You get all the broccoli flavor without the awkward mouthful (and teeth full) of floret.

3) Slaw. Use a mandoline, grater, food processor with a grater wheel, or caul hands and a sharp knife to shred broccoli stems. Add some shredded carrot and mix with your favorite cole slaw dressing.

4) Stir fry. I think part of the reason I love roasting broccoli is that I can never get stir fried broccoli quite right – its always either underdone or mushy, never as delicious as at a Chinese restaurant or my moms house. (Mom! What is your secret!) But broccoli stalks – being flatter and more uniform than florets – are a cinch. They make a delicious stir-fry with Chinese flavors – soy sauce, garlic, and five-spice powder are a favorite combination of mine – and cook to a delicious combination of golden exteriors with creamy insides.

5. Soup. Once your favorite cream of broccoli soup (vegan or dairy) is pureed, no one will know if it started as tiny trees or trunks. Ditto chopped up in a quiche or casserole.

Thats what Ive got so far. (Ive also heard that some cats love broccoli, and so also broccoli stalks, but unfortunately my creature isnt inclined to any such adorable predilections.) Do you use – and enjoy – your broccoli stalks? Are there any other often discarded parts of vegetables (or animals) youve got a great use for?

Green Kitchen Tofu Salad with Herbs Two Ways

Green Kitchen is a bi-weekly column about nutritious, inexpensive, and ethical food and cooking. Its penned by the lovely Jaime Green.

Happy belated solstice, everyone! For us northern hemispherers, yesterday was the longest day of the year. Thats happy news for druids and lovers of late-evening sunshine, but oh, if only that meant the hottest day of the year were behind us as well. Unfortunately, the suns just getting started pumping the atmosphere full of heat, and the sweaty months of summer stretch into the distance ahead of us, as if into a hazy, humid infinity.

Hi. Sorry. It was 95 degrees in New York City yesterday. Project no-AC goes strong, but still. Stepping into the midday sun is like ... whoa. That stuff hits you hard.

So, even though I keep my windows closed and curtained during the day, and my apartment is still surprisingly bearable, its not like Im about to crank up the oven and start baking and broiling. I dont even really want to turn on a burner.

I could pretend its for Mother Earth, but really its because its freaking hot out!

Lucky for us wilting flowers, there is plenty we can do without igniting a single pilot light. If you can muster the energy for a few minutes of smushing stuff up, you can make a delicious, protein-packed salad full of vegetables, herbs, and smooth, cool tofu. Two of them, in fact!

Yeah, I said smushing stuff up. Super appetizing, I know. But go with me here. We mix crumbled tofu with herbs, vegetables, a little fat, and a little acid. Two different combinations give us two very different, equally reshing dishes – one Greek(ish), one (sorta) Italiany – that can be enjoyed sandwiched in bread, tossed with more veggies for salad, or spooned out of a mug while you lie prostrate on the cool kitchen tile floor. No heat in the kitchen, plenty of delicious in your mouth.

I like the Greek tofu smush (I need to come up with a better name for these!) with a dab of extra mayo and mixed into a big bunch of greens. Purslane, for example, is a wild green I can get at the farmers market for cheap. Being wild means it hasnt been cultivated to be all leaves and no stems, so it takes some prep time, but the little leaves are full of omega-3 fatty acids and other wild-green goodness, and make delicious salad.

The basil smush goes brilliantly with arugula, spinach, or, really, on its own. Its a little saltier and richer, but still creamy and reshing, and the slightly more substantial of the two recipes.

I should probably call these tofu salads rather than smush. But whatever theyre called, they are delicious, easy, and – most importantly right now – cold.

Get in Shape! 5 ways to get started

1. Set a fitness goal. And give yourself enough time to reach it. Your mission is the motivation that will keep you going on days when you feel like giving up. Be sure to create smaller goals too (such as doing 15 sit-ups), and reward yourself when you reach them, to help propel you toward your big one.

2. Formulate a workout plan. Aim for three 40-minute workouts each week, at specific times. Your exercise schedule needs to be as important as any other appointment you have. Vary your routine — maybe its tennis one day and a dance class on another — to challenge yourself and ward off workout boredom.

3. Do a reality check. Be completely honest with yourself about how fit you are. Getting in shape is a personal journey that requires a realistic self-perspective; some novice exercisers are overly ambitious and begin a workout plan or set goals that are too hard on their bodies. So take it slow. Keep your focus on where you are and the progress youve made.

4. Seek support. Youre less likely to bail on a workout if you know a friend is waiting for you, and having a partner is good for emotional support too. Seek out people who have a contagious "You can do it!" attitude and who embody the fitness lifestyle you want. Dont compare yourself to über- fit types — trying to match their high standards may just make you want to quit.

5. Eat right. Make sure youre eating the best foods to fuel your body — including lots of fresh fruits and veggies, lean proteins, and healthy fats. And drink at least six cups of water a day — or more on the days you work out — to keep your hardworking body hydrated and energized.

Your heart and lungs do not work as efficiently supplying less oxygen to the cells. Oxygen is a key component in cell metabolism and less oxygen means a slower metabolism. As your metabolism drops you burn fewer calories and gain weight. A slow metabolism will also cause you to feel fatigued and run down.

Exercise can reverse this energy drain. It increases cardiovascular efficiency, pumping more blood through the body and therefore greater amounts of oxygen, increasing the metabolic efficiency of the cells and the body as a whole.

2. Boost your breakfast: Most people make the mistake of either not eating breakfast or if they do it consists of a big cup of coffee and some sort of sugar filled sweet roll. While it satisfies the taste buds its long term energy output is minimal. Once the caffeine wears off and your blood sugar drops youll be ready for that midmorning nap.

Eating a breakfast high in complex carbohydrates like whole grain cereal with skim milk and fruit will give you a long sustained energy source that keeps your metabolism at its optimum level well until lunch.

3. 8 Hours in the sack: Nothing recharges the batteries like a good night sleep. Sleep is the time when the body renews and heals itself. The best way to get more sleep is to go to bed earlier. That might put a damper on your channel surfing but your metabolism will thank you. Here are 5 ways to help improve your sleep.
� Exercise regularly
� Get on a schedule and go to bed about the same time every night.
� Eat a high carbohydrate snack before bed.
� Dont drink caffeinated drinks before bed.
� Avoid alcoholic beverages before bed. You will not sleep as soundly with alcohol in your system.

4. Know your prime energy time: Are you a morning person or an evening person. Your bodys energy runs in cycles, with high energy and low energy periods. Make a note of your energy cycles, when they are high and when they are low. Plan your major tasks at your high energy times and youll breeze right through them.

5. Have fun: Do things that make you happy. Take the time to partake in activities that you enjoy everyday, if possible. It doesnt have to be the same thing everyday but taking the time to do something fun decreases stress and helps to motivate you.

6. Take a break: Taking a break from work every one and a half to two hours helps refresh our minds and bodies. If your mind starts to wander or you find yourself wishing to take a nap during work get up from your desk and take a walk and get some fresh air. Movement is your bodys best friend and helps jump start your metabolism giving you the energy to get through the day.

7. Alcohol is a downer: Alcohol, as we all know, is a depressant. While it can make us loose our inhibitions, at the end of the night your reaction times are slowed and drowsiness takes hold. What you may not realize is the fatigue and slowed thinking will continue the next day. Even if you only have a beer or two a day you may notice a vast difference in your energy levels if you eliminate the alcohol.

By following these seven tips you can boost your energy and increase your metabolism and before you know it your fatigue and lack of motivation will be a thing of the past. And who knows, you may even burn a few extra calories and lose some weight.
