Tasty Fractal

[browngirl]

And now for something completely different/ a return to the sort of thing I like to post about: fractal broccoli aka Romanesco. If you live in the Boston area, Atlas farms at the Copley Square Farmer's Market is selling this delicious, nutritious, beautiful, edible fractal.



-- that's not the one I bought today. But it's representative of how intricately lovely they all are. I was very amused to see people taking them out of the basket, photographing them, and putting them back. The farmer stand staff should have charged models fees.

I intend to turn the one I bought today into Cauliflower 'Tabbouleh', where the cauliflower is diced into bulguresque bits . I think I'll trim off the surface before I chop it up, though, to scatter little fractal nubs throughout my salad.

Thanks! Broccoli and cauliflower taste quite differently though, so it would be fun to see which it resembles or if it's its own thing.
