Do you ever buy broccoli that has an insanely long stalk? Yeah me too.. and then I feel like an ass hole for throwing that whole thing out. But who the hell wants a super fibrous chunk of broccoli stalk with their fluffy tree-like broccoli pieces? Not me.
I’ve seen a few people take these stalks and turn them into “broccoli rice”, similar to “cauliflower rice”. So, last night when I was cutting up some broccoli to throw into my dinner, I figured I’d keep the stalks instead of being an ass hole and finally try my hand at this broccoli rice business.
I gotta say I was a little apprehensive, because I didn’t know if it would turn out too fibrous, gnarly and have zero flavor.. but it was AMAZING! I seriously think y’all are going to love this super simple and crazy delicious 6 ingredient recipe! I enjoyed mine with an egg and some avocado this morning and it hit the freaking spot. There’s plenty of room to get creative with this one!
