This is a great use for those woody ends of asparagus, recipe found in the great Simplicious cookbook from Sarah Wilson.

You’ll need a saucepan, blender and sieve.

Ingredients (when in italics available from the van)

woody asparagus ends

Total cost from Incredible Bulk approx £0 / £0 pp

Method:

Boil the woody stems of 2-3 bunches of asparagus for 45 mins until super soft.

Once soft blend in blender and pass through sieve, pressing with the back of a spoon. You will be left with a puree-ish stock.

Zero Waste Tips

Remember if you haven’t got enough woody ends to begin with you can freeze until you do.

Freeze stock until ready to use- freeze in handy batch sizes of 500ml.
