Romanesco

Romanesco



So,
 
Hubby comes home with this veggie.  Had no clue what it was or how to cook it!

It looks and smells like Broccoli or cauliflower.  A pretty looking veg, as you can see.  



Pressed for time I cooked it as I always do my Broccoli:

1. Rinse and put in a glass bowel with lid in microwave. 5-6 minutes on High.
2. For those of us who have the use of one hand. Remove stem and leaves after cooking with a knife. It is easier to cut when cooked.
3. Add butter or margarine ,  black pepper and salt to taste.

Next day I Googled  and found these interesting facts:

• Named Romanesco broccoli or cabbage.
• Originally grown in Italy during the 16th century.
• Hi in vitamin C and iron.
• Prevents Cancer
• Generates a healthy skin.
• Has a nutty flavour.

I did some research and decided to try my own idea as recipe:
