The first time that I had Romanesco Broccoli was in Rome although I had occasionally seen it in the markets here in the United States. You may need to poke around your various specialty stores to find this delicious broccoli. I picked up these heads of Romanesco Broccoli when I was at a farmers’ market in Portland, Oregon. Thankfully, TSA fought the urge to steal them from my checked bag while traveling back to New York City.

  • 3 Garlic Cloves (Smashed)
  • 2 Heads Of Romanesco Broccoli
  • 5 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Chili Flakes
  1. Clean and wash broccoli. Remove bottom and all leaves. Cut buds into smaller pieces.
  2. Fill medium-size pot with unsalted water and bring to boil over a high heat. Add broccoli and cook 4 to 5 minutes until each piece become tender and soft, but NOT mushy. Remove and drain, but reserve cooking liquid.
  3. Add olive oil into large-size sauté pan and turn heat to medium-high. Smash garlic cloves with side of a knife. Leave garlic skin. Add garlic, with skins, to sauté pan and cook 4 minutes until lightly browned.
  4. Once garlic is brown, toss in drained broccoli. Sauté for 10 minutes over a medium heat. Add 1 cup reserved cooking liquid when vegetables begin to dry out in pan. Cook another 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  5. Remove from pan and transfer to serving bowl. Season with kosher salt and chili flakes.
  6. Serve warm.
  7. Serves 4
  8. "Work With What You Got!"
