Ingredients
- 1 lb Romanesco broccoli

Steps
Thoroughly wash the broccoli and separate the florets.
Chop the almonds and place them in a pan with a drizzle of oil over low heat, sauté them a bit then add the broccoli and pine nuts; if you prefer, chopped or whole garlic, which can be removed, is also excellent.
Cook with the lid closed for about ten minutes, just enough time to soften the vegetables. Do not overcook to avoid losing the vitamins in the vegetables.
But if you prefer, you can cook them longer; towards the end of cooking, add a sprinkle of breadcrumbs, then cut slices of bread and toast them under the grill at 390°F for a few minutes.
