Tina C Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 We had some asparagus yesterday (delicious). I was wondering if I could give the woody ends to the chooks to peck at? Should I cook them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Best thing (IMO) to do with the stalks of asparagus is to make vegetable stock. Add an onion, carrot, perhaps celery or fennel, and a teaspoon of peppercorns, boil up for a while and Bob's your uncle! Perfect for using in risotto or whatever else. Our chickens wouldn't touch them - they despise anything hard and will only eat soft food! (Cooked potatoes or pasta are favourite.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Actually we are having (spinach) risotto for tea so maybe I should do that... but I do like to share nice things with the chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
