vegetables - any uses for the leaves?

Was trimming a cauli today, and there was loads of (stalky) greenery around the white "flesh". I just wondered if this could be made into soup, or any other ideas? Seems a shame to just chuck it (although I did on this occasion).

I shred mine for my chickens but I've used them for bubble and squeak if they're not too tough.0

I usually give it to my neice for her pet rabbit, it eats the greens but doesn't do stalks.0

We always eat the green leafy bits which are like greens I suppose. The stalks aren't that good for us though but the guinea pigs like them.

I always trim the greens part and add it to the cauliflower florets as they cook. Healthy and adds a bit of colour to the veg on the plate.Enjoying an MSE OS life0

1st post!
I had cauliflower cheese yesterday and shredded the greens and added them to the cheese sauce - was lovely! Hope it helps.0 -
Thanks everyone, seems like I will either have to get a small pet, or a compost bin (the obvious solution but haven't got around to it yet
), or make the effort to cut the leaves off the stalks and boil 'em!
So, no takers for me stalks then?
Warm welcome to the mad (but thrifty) house Sarahmelita. Hope you have loads of fun sharing tips with us. I will christen your first post methinks - so brace yourself! :rotfl: I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe
