We have a surplus of brocoli .Is it possible to freeze it?

Blanching brocoli
yep! Cut up the "heads" into 1-2 inch pieces, blanch about two minutes, cool quickly, dry on a tea towel, and freeze. Yummy!
Thanks Shoe

Even the stem parts are good...peel the tougher areas and chunk them up. Treat the same as the heads....makes great soup fixins.
I cook broccoli in chicken broth with onion, run all of that through the blender. Then thicken with flour and milk. Makes a yummy cream of broccoli soup without all of the 'gunk' that comes in the canned stuff.
Season with butter and a touch of salt and pepper.
The stem parts make a perfect ingredient for this, they're going to get blended up anyway..
