I cut off and washed most of the leaves, and added them to my salad - delicious. You don't have to be too aggressive about trimming the stalks. I just cut off the browned ends. Even if the stalks are tough, you can just peal the outer portion as you might do with large, tough broccoli stalks. I have also steamed them a little less, and then sauteed them for a few minutes with some fresh garlic.

I'm going for it with tomatoes and garlic.

steamed for ten min. Delicious and not bitter in the least. Will try again soon!
