Romanesco - Roxanne 21 - 08-26-2007 Anyone ever made this??? I was at the market the other day and saw this stange broccoli looking thang----- I would assume that one could cook this as one does "regular" broccoli??? I also noticeed purple ones---I went with the green--- Re: Romanesco - DFen911 - 08-26-2007 You can cook like you do brocoli but it tastes closer to cauliflower. I've sauteed it in a pan with a bit of slice garlic. If you over cook it, it doesn't get mushy but gets a grainy and real fibery texture which is pretty nasty. It's very popular in Italy. I saw more of the purple variation as garnish rather than being cooked. Re: Romanesco - Roxanne 21 - 08-26-2007 HHMMM--thanks, Denise---I will keep the cauliflower in mind. I have it staring at me soooo---will cook accordingly---interesting looking vegetable, to say the least!!! Re: Romanesco - pjcooks - 08-26-2007 You can steam it, too, or just eat raw with a dip. Pretty for a crudite, though the purple might throw someone off. I've never had it, but I have seen it. Picky likes broccoli, wonder if he'd eat this (but not purple!!) Let us know what you do!
