A revelation. Also known as broccoflower. We got a small head of it for our cropshare and my friend had given it to me since she's not as adventurous and was put off by the alien spores appearance. I just used what i know about other similar textured vegetables (thanks jacob!) and just roasted it in some olive oil salt and black pepper until it started getting browned.
The texture was unlike anything else, and the taste was incredible. It will be hard to look at roasted broccoli and cauliflower the same again. Please go out and try it!!!
