This is Romanesco. Its a type of cauliflower that looks like it's from another planet. I first saw it at the Portland Farmer's market a few weeks ago, but I didn't buy any because I had no idea what it was or how to cook it. I ran into Romanesco again at Trader Joe's the last time I went shopping. Trader Joe's version comes in a bag with regular cauliflower and in general is foolproof to prepare...And a perfect example of golden section geometry.
How's it taste? Its a cruciferous vegetable, so its flavor is about halfway between broccoli and cauliflower (as you might guess). Next time I'll get some to steam myself!
