Romanesco Broccoli

A mathematical marvel of nature with its perfect fractal geometry, romanesco offers a texture halfway between cauliflower and broccoli, paired with a delicate nutty flavor. Its cooking must above all respect its aesthetics: it is often broken down into small "turrets" and gently steamed to preserve its architecture, or candied sous-vide with an infused brown butter. It brings a spectacular three-dimensional aspect to plate presentation.
