Stir fry the stalks with honey and balsamic vinegar, otherwise they are bl**dy awful. :lol:

Oven bake the chopped wilted leaves in cheese sauce.

I generally steam them (but then again I steam most veg :) )
The leaves are a bit like spinach, but the stalks are pretty tasteless IMHO. I'm sure others will have different opinions though, and I would be interested to hear of any tasty recipes using the stalks.
