[quote=Anonymous]Don't throw away large parts of usable organic veggies when you are cutting them.

I rinse and peel the broccoli and cauliflower stalks and then dice it for stirfries or even cooking in curries.

I use a food scrubber to thoroughly clean out the skins of veggies like zucchini, so that I can use the skin in the dish too. Similarly - I will cut out a very small portion of the stalks of mushroom and use the rest of the mushroom.  A lot of food influences only use the cap of the mushrooms and it is a waste not to use the stalk.  Similarly, I remove the white pith and rind from lemon peels, slice the lemon peels and put it in white rice when I am cooking.  The delicious citrusy aroma and taste of the cooked peels  is amazing.

If I am shelling peas, I also remove the waxy layer from the shells and then chop and cook it like beans.  This is a slightly laborious process - best done when you are chilling at night watching TV.

If you have a lawn or a garden.  You can basically use the washed veggie peels (except onions and garlic) and just use your blender to make a slurry with water.  Use it to nourish the soil.  Don't it let it go to waste.  [/quote]
