Broccoli stem pickles

Broccoli stems
salt
One thin clove of garlic (Ken uses up to 3 cloves)
1 tbs sesame oil or olive oil
1 tbs balsamic vinegar or rice vinegar
Depending on the amount of broccoli, you can double to amount of oil and vinegar. Broccoli stems are labor intensive to peel and cut, so the recipe here is for about a cup of stems, or even for 3/4 of a cup.
1. Peel broccoli stems and cut thin. You want the soft middle lighter part, not the hard green part, but small bits of green are OK. The pieces will be about the size and width of a nickel, or half a nickel. Because stems are so uneven, they will be uneven in shape and size.
2. Put the stem pieces in a small bowl. Pour 1 teaspoon of salt on them and stir to mix the salt over all the pieces. Put the bowl in the refrigerator and wait 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile finely chop the garlic clove(s), and put in a smaller container with the oil and vinegar.
4. After 30 minutes, rinse out the salt from the stems. This will leech out bitterness from the stems, get them lightly salted, and prepare them to infuse the garlic flavor.
3. Pour the oil/vinegar/garlic mix over the stems and stir. Serve immediately with a small spoon. A tiny bit goes a long way. It can marinate for about 10 minutes, and the flavor can get too strong after marinating too long >30 or 45 minutes.

Day One Hundred and Thirty Two – Dinner for Four
Image by Yortw
Had family over for dinner tonight. Three of us had chicken breast stuffed with spinach and edam cheese, covered in Ray McVinnie Tomato Sauce, with added basil and a little bit of Heller’s middle bacon.
The meal in front was for someone who has problems eating tomato, so instead I stuffed it with lite cream cheese, semi-dried apricot and strips of Heller’s middle bacon. The ramekin has a little tomato sauce in it, just for them to try.
All meals served with steamed carrots, broccoli and cauliflower.
