Re: Food and drink
The wife and I picked up a head of this bizarre cauliflower. Any recommendations on cooking it ?

I have Cheddar Wurst on the white board to be made this winter. I have 120 pounds of deer meat in the freezer, and beef and pork............. I'm going to put Abe Frohman to shame.

Any special precautions. Are there quills, thorns or poison pods that need to be removed first ?

Re: Food and drink
Hopefully around Christmas I will get to it. I have to get my smoker set up and buy some high temp cheese, then its game on.GrumpyCatFace wrote:I'd buy some from you.

•Blanch the florets and then shock in an ice bath to lock in that vibrant color. (They'll become muted if you skip the shocking step.) Add the pre-cooked romanesco to salads, veggie trays, or even cold noodle dishes.
•It goes very well with pasta. Keep it simple with a hard, aged cheese and olive oil, or get fancy with something more saucy and complicated.
•Try it roasted or sautéed in olive oil with onions and garlic. Serve it on a sausage sandwich or a Italian sub. Don't be afraid of getting a little char on the veggie; it can stand up to the flavor.
•Break it into florets and pickle them with garlic.
The most important thing to remember: Don't overcook it. "You want to maintain the vegetable's unique shape, not turn it to mush."
