The broccoli hack you won’t believe you didn’t know sooner: chop your broccoli AFTER you cook it, not before!
Try this tip yourself:
- Place the whole broccoli head, floret side down, in a large pan of boiling water, and cook for 10 minutes.
- Remove the head from the pot using a pair of tongs, and put it on a chopping board – you’ll notice the broccoli florets are already starting to fall away from the stem.
- When the cooking time is up the rest can simply be removed with one single chop along the thickest part of the stem.
