Romanesco is my favorite Brassica to grow!

I planted some seeds last winter that sprouted this fall. By that time, I couldn't recall if the plant was cauliflower or broccoli. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a Romanesco Cauliflower, which is my favorite to grow due to its fractal-like beauty.  This beast defied measurement in one piece on my kitchen scale which wasn't up to the weighty task because it exceeded the maximum. In total it weighed 7 pounds 15.25 ounces. Later I found a happy slug in it, so its weight is included in that mighty sum, which is kind of cheating.  I cut the behemoth brassica in half and set one aside for future cooking. Eventually both ended up roasted in small pieces and seasoned with salt, pepper, and olive oil. It was delicious!  And the extra crunch of Romanesco over usual cauliflower or broccoli went well with the roasting technique. The whole family enjoyed it, with my daughter asking for more.

We're also enjoying kale from the garden.
