Cream of Cauliflower Stalks

Sauté some chopped onions (to taste) in olive oil in a pan until golden. Then add the cauliflower stalks, cut into small pieces, and water until covered. When the vegetables are cooked through, season with salt and a choice of condiments. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly. Zap with a hand blender until a smooth cream.

Tip: use broccoli stalks instead of cauliflower. For a creamier texture add potatoes (to taste).
