2020 Adapted Recipe - April Ferre - Adapted from www.itsavegworldafterall.com
"Romanesco is a fascinatingly beautiful vegetable that forms Christmas tree-like florets arranged in a stunning fractal pattern. Sometimes it is referred to as a cauliflower variant, other times broccoli, but from what I can tell, though in the same family as both, it is actually it's own distinct vegetable. In my opinion, it is most like cauliflower. I had only ever seen pictures of this in CSA baskets until one day I found them at Pedrick Produce Market in Dixon and I had to get some. The roasted garlic, the tangy lemon and the zip from plenty of salt are fantastic with the mild romanesco. If you can't find any romanesco, this works great with regular cauliflower as well." - April Ferre
