About Romanesco Broccoli

The broccoli cabbage is also called Romanesco broccoli or Big Romanesco. It is unmistakable for its conical florets and bright green color. The season has just begun and will extend throughout the winter and much of the spring. It can be cooked in the same way as broccoletti and cauliflower, but having such a beautiful decorative appearance, it is suitable to be cooked and served whole, au gratin with breadcrumbs or with béchamel sauce.

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
