Submitted by d.kilpatrick

"Don’t throw away your broccoli leaves. They have very high nutritional value and are very tasty if prepared correctly."

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli, leaves
• 1⁄2 medium size onion
• 1⁄2 softball size head of cabbage
• 5 garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt (Boys & Grills Secret Ingredient works great)
• 2 tablespoons bacon bits

directions

1. 1. Remove the stems from the broccoli leaves and cut the leaves into edible pieces. You can do whatever you want with the stems. We don’t need them anymore.
2. 2. Put the oil and butter in a pot and melt.
3. 3. Dice the onion and add along with the minced garlic cloves and sauté until the onion is translucent.
4. 4. Add the broccoli leaves and diced cabbage and stir over low heat for about 10 minutes.
5. 5. Add the chicken bouillon, 1/2 cup water, and seasoning salt, and stir to combine.
6. 6. Cover and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes.
7. 7. Put in a serving bowl and sprinkle with bacon bits.
8. I used the broccoli leaves from one plant. I’m estimating them to fill a 4 cup container loosely stacked. Once you dice them down they are smaller.
