I have a broccoli emergency

[StealthPolarBear]

I bought some Brocollo from waitrose to go with tonight's tea. Don't usually shop there. I was slightly shocked at the price as it was more than I would usually spend. However when I've got it home I've realised it's much more than I usually buy. Tomorrow's tea is sandwiches and Thursdays is waffles and beans. How will I ever use all this broccoli?
Before anyone starts, yes this is lighthearted :)

I live on Broccoli, DH and I eat at least 3 large heads a week! I can eat a whole one in about 5 seconds flat, either steamed with butter or roasted. Divine! It’s my only healthy habit!

Broccoli won't have gone off by Friday if kept in the fridge - probably not if kept out of it either. I shop on Fridays and am eating veg bought then the following week and beyond.

We eat broccoli with everything in this house- favourite veg here

You can either:

Invite my DS round - he will eat a whole plate of it raw.

Or make broccoli, cheese and potato bake

Or do the meal my DH always cooks steak in wine sauce, broccoli and potatoes.

Or decorate your house with it. It'll be even better than Christmas

Or plant it in plant pots to make broccoli trees.

If you're anywhere near Durham then I'll send DS2 round. He would eat broccoli for every meal if he could...

It's not really about it going off, it's about using it at its best. As I say I m making a leftovers soup on Saturday. But it's so lovely it doesn't deserve to be souped

Ha I live in Durham. That never happens on these threads!

Chicken Alfredo with broccoli 🥦
Goes down a treat with my kids x

Also this did make me laugh.
Thank you defo needed it today x

Some of you are seriously overestimating my cooking skills

Right pm me your address and I'll be straight over! I'll just go and get him out of bed... 😁

I can just imaging his face, "you want me to go round to some strange woman's you know from the internet and eat WHAT?"

Have you got a recipe for that?

My DS ‘yeah alright then...’

I'm trying to think of a witty comment but can't.

As you were.

What you need is a broccoli party - invite all MN DCs who love broccoli and you can have food like a broccoli and pineapple hedgehog and games like pin the broccoli on the donkey. Sorted.

My solution for surplus comestibles is this:

Take said foodstuff in hand, go outside and knock on nearest neighbour's front door. Present them with it. Go back home.

Job done.

My broccoli always goes yellow quickly and I've heard that it's toxic when it does that

Op you'd like where I work. We have a living wall with broccoli on it.

I steam the broccoli on top of the cooking pasta. Then lightly fry some chopped chilli & garlic in a good glug of oil. Add squeeze of lemon. Add drained pasta, broccoli and chopped parsley to the pan, season and stir through. Add cheese if liked! Super quick & easy.

Panic over. I had some with pasta last night and the rest bin omelette tonight it was lovely.
