There have been sightings outside these islands, too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanesco_broccoli



Whoops, I mean OMG! Irradiated vegetables with Fuku-Caesium.

Damn, "Romanesco broccoli"...That's a cauliflower with a college education*.

*Apologies to Mark Twain.

Your brand of satire is brilliant. You play a buffoon so well and you never break character... Very Avant Garde.

Depends, if you want to have sex with it, I recommend inviting it for supper first...

If it is not "novelty vegetable" price, you should give it a try. They look cool, the florets keep their structure a bit better than broccoli, and they have a slightly different flavour palette. Take yourself out of the everyday.

Have you been hanging around at your local pharmacy again?

"Out"?
Noooooo. It's Japan out there!

Romensco Broccoli... and that is most definitely dinner. Even if it was sentient it's incredibly delicious and would not hesitate killing it in the name of good eating.

It does look like something out of HP Lovecraft though

romanesco cauliflower

If you can't enjoy it, you belong in Japan.

From a professional culinary point of view it is the pinnacle of spring veg. It is a very sepecial veg that I am very happy to use. For some strange reason it is available nine months a year here vs. six in Europe and North America.

It looks alien but it is heavenly.

Parboil for 90 seconds and season with (strong) true sea salt and real balsamic vinegar. It's a big green salad secret cheat amoung the professional circles.

I was in a combini with me Julie few month ago, near the cashier there was the usual warm food stuff, teriaky chicken sticks, steamed buns and a hot water pot with various fishi-soupy-things.

Then I spot an octopus leg, point my finger toward it, looking at me Julie i start shouting " OH MY GOD, THEY KILLED CTHULLUH!!!"
The poor cashier girl start panicking at the same time me Julie start laughing like a truck driver...

Should have recorded this... T'was one of the first time she understood one of my -not so funny- jokes...

Saute minced onion and bacon until brown.

Add one clove of garlic through the press. Saute for 30 seconds and remove from pan.

Saute ham in remaining fat for 2 minutes then add parboiled romanesco and bacon/garlic mixture and remove from heat immediately. Dress with chili vinigar and EVOO.


You have to pay for the amounts or spend 20 years learning from old ladys to figure out the balance.

Mr. Broccoflower was a great guest---You were damn right about "parboiling" him since he cooked faster than either broccoli or cauliflower.

I am so doing this tomorrow!

I make a dish with this broccoli, normal broccoli and cauliflower.

Par boil and then put into a baking dish, cover with cheese or bechemel sauce and then bake in the oven until bubbly and starting to brown on the top.

Super yum.

[wuchan]

but do you have home made chili vinigar?

[GomiGirl]

Home made chili oil.
