ROMANESCO CAULIFLOWER

I'd been telling Sam about this fractal logarithmic spiral of a cauliflower for ages. It's been my favourite vegetable ever since my mom made it for me a few years ago, but it's so damn rare! I really wanted to show Sam, but I just couldn't find it ANYWHERE. I checked in a lot of greengrocers, I checked Waitrose, nowhere to be found.

So then the other day, in the most unlikely of places; a supermarket called "Roy's" in Wroxham, Sam found some!

So yeah, this stuff is obviously stunning visually, but we're not looking to decorate our houses with attractive vegetables, we want to make some good nom, so I hoped it would be as yummy as I remembered.

So we didn't make a super fancy dish. In fact we did something really lazy, we just boiled it and decided to have it with some Indian takeaway leftovers. Nothing particularly fancy there, but a good way to make a few leftover things into a meal.

Okay, sorry for the crappy photography, we just wanted to nom it fast. It was amazing.

Romanesco broccoli basically tastes pretty much like broccoli but just better - it's sort of buttery and milder.. sort of like a mix of broccoli and cauliflower - in my opinion. It's really yummy, you should check it out if you can.

Yeah this doesn't really display any cooking skills, but we just wanted to show you this crazy vegetable!
