I frequently saw Romanesco in the Italian supermarkets and fell in love with the interesting shape and form. I asked my parents to grow some for me. Since it tasted even sweeter than I had imagined and the texture was soft and flaky, I figured a simple recipe of just topping it on crackers would be best.

-Since the pyramid shapes are cute, when cutting the Romanesco, start from the stem side to maintain the shape.
-The amount of time it takes to boil is about the same as broccoli.
-When boiled, Romanesco become a beautiful jade green color. Recipe by Soyokaze
