It may seem new to some of us, but actually romanesco has actually been around forever! Forever as in ages, ages as in 16th century Italy. Like I said, forever. A cross between broccoli and cauliflower, it\u2019s unapologetically captivating. I mean, really, it\u2019s structure is quite a marvel. Such a marvel that I could even get my favorite Schwabe\u2019s boys to eat it. Okay, not in this variation, but yes, they did eat it! Curiosity once again got the best of them. Love it.<\/p>\n

Raw, it tastes similar to cauliflower with a distinct but subtle hint of broccoli flavor, but cooked it takes on a more flavorful sweet, mild and almost nutty taste. Almost as if it was going through a bit of an identity crisis.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re anything like me and not really in love with cauliflower, then maybe it\u2019s time to try something new and start loving it\u2019s glamorous cousin. In this side dish, romanesco blends perfectly with salty capers and tangy lemon. Warm or cold, this is a perfectly light side that is outrageously flavorful and tremendously healthy. Serve it alongside a little grilled fish or chicken for a light and satisfying meal.<\/p>\n

Or if capers aren\u2019t your thing, it\u2019s really tasty steamed and adorned with a little olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper and shaved parmesan or for a full meal pair it with a little pasta — just don\u2019t forget to add a little saut\u00e9ed garlic and perhaps a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Completely simple. Completely delicious.
