Quick and Easy Pickled Romanesco Broccoli

Ok first question, what the hell is Romanesco? Romanesco is that strange almost other worldly (martian possibly) looking variety of broccoli. It has spiky florets instead of the usual rounded ones. And it is bright, bright almost fluorescent green in colour. It is a rather outrageous cousin to the boring old cauliflower.

Very popular in France romanesco broccoli and is now readily available in the UK in larder supermarkets and farmers markets. You can use it like any other broccoli or cauliflower. Here I’m making Pickled Romanesco.

You can use any broccoli or cauliflower

While this is a recipe for pickled romanesco you can just use normal broccoli or even cauliflower instead if you like. Just replace the romanesco with standard broccoli (or cauliflower) and follow the rest of the ingredients and recipe as normal.

This pickle is handy for serving with cold meats or on the side with baked ham or just chick it on the cheeseboard to give a bit of crunch and a flavour change at the end of the meal or for that cheesy evening snack attack.
