Romanesco
Lime-green fractal spirals that look like they were designed by a mathematician. Technically a cauliflower, aesthetically a work of art, and the flavour is nuttier and sweeter than white cauliflower. The vegetable that makes non-gardeners do a double take.
in the kitchen
Roasted romanesco with brown butter and capers
Break into florets, roast until the tips are golden and crispy. Make brown butter in a pan, add capers and a squeeze of lemon. Drizzle over. The fractal tips catch the butter perfectly.
