romanesque cauliflower..is that the name and how do i 'do it' ...

[HairyIrene]

is that right?
i think its called that, couldnt resist it in market
BUT
what do you do with it?
They said to cook it like cauliflower but
cheese sauce am thinking not!

HLEP

you can cook it like regular cauliflower - steaming is best IME

yeh, me too! rubyslipper
but for same time as normal one?

what do you guys eat with it?
idont eat meat

fish, buttered leeks - does that sound compatible?

We have been having this often lately. I steam it also with cauliflower for same amount of time. We do have it with meat though but also lots of other veg and gravey. With leeks would be nice.

I would just treat it as normal cauliflower. Its really lovely to look at though isn't it? Good for children as it has a milder taste than regular cauli.

its fascintating to look at! makes me feel like robert mapplethorpe!

chlesmumtoo
do you do it with a sauce of any kind? or just steamed and served.. butter, lemon?

sorry am not sure

ooooh, its my favourite fun veg. its a fractal veg It appears in our riverford box but so far we haven't got one this year

I cook it like a cauliflower, or eat it raw.

oh, raw really?
like in a winter salad type thing..

educate me, what is fractal veg?
if you cook it, what do you serve it with!

actually am feeling more like photographing it tis amazing!

Its the old mandelbrot set idea, If you look at it close up the close up is just like the larger image. And the closer you look the more the pattern repeats itself. The maths itself is complicated but thats essentially it. So its is one very cool vegetable

I serve it like crudites in lunchboxes. Yes I know thats poncy but there you go I did draw the line at dd serving it at her birthday party!

I'm jealous you have one!

..fractal, it sort of dawned on me later reallyscarybadbitten..
i thought you meant like a vegetable gropu, tubers and teh like..!

dh sourced nice gratin recipe with leeks so that solves sunday dinner

That sounds nice

i make a tomato sauce with lots of garlic (& chilli if the children aren't going to have it), then steam the cauliflower, squidge it with a fork & add it to the sauce. yum.
