Tarian Pantry Kitchen Diary

Our focus is on growing, purchasing and cooking with good plant based foods. Food and cooking doesn't need to be complex. It's about enjoying the simplicity that nature has to offer and reminding you not to loose sight of where food comes from.

Vegetable of the week - Romanesco Cauliflower

Farmers markets are more than just supporting local farming, its an education too! We found whist shopping at the Melbourne showground farmers markets this unusual vegetable called the Romanesco cauliflower (also known as Romanesco broccoli and Romanesco cabbage). Likened to the look of cauliflower, it tastes like broccoli so any cauliflower phobics out there need not fear!

Cooking this vegetable is simple: steam florets and pan fry in olive oil and garlic and serve topped with roasted pine nuts or steam whole and drizzle with a vegan cheesy sauce.

Tarian Pantry. Always an education.
