Equipment
Notes
- For the broccoli: Cut into small florets and then chop into bite size pieces. Cut away any rough parts of the stock and then cut into small pieces.
- To serve in a bread bowl: Purchase a small boule shaped loaf or if you are able, bake your own. Cut a medium/large circle into the top and pull out the interior to create a hollow vessel. Save the top for dunking!
