Broccoli Stalk Fritters Comments

  • Hi - what a great idea for using surplus broccoli, especially the stalks. We forget that just boiling our greens is the only way to eat them. I hope many cooks try this idea. Thanks for this recipe. Jim

    • They sound delicious, I will have to substitute the yoghurt for something else as I am diary intolerant, but I am certainly going to give them a go. ,
