romanesco broccoli


Here's a picture I took of Erik holding the strange thing that came in our CSA this morning.

    Don't eat that!
    I'm just kidding. It's probably delicious.
    It looks like ocean coral though.

    Looks alien to me! We haven't tried it yet.

    It looks like some awesome fractal art created by mathematicians.

    I just prepared it. Steamed in a white sauce with chicken breast (dissolving all the nice flavor from frying it), a bit of nutmeg, white pepper…

    It’s very nice. Like cauliflower or broccoli, but it tastes better. And it’s firmer, meaning it doesn’t instantly decompose into a mash. The way it’s partially firm partially soft seems fractal too, making it interesting to bite into.

    I can only recommend trying it. (And recipe that calls for broccoli or cauliflower works. And probably any other recipe that you’d use a kind of cabbage for.)
