The crazy looking broccolo romano becomes a Christmas tree on the window of a fabric store facing onto the archaeological site at Largo Argentina.
Sometimes called minaret because of it’s unusual shape, broccolo romano is actually a variety of cauliflower. You’ll find it in every market in Rome. Here at the eCool compound, we like to sautee it with olive oil, garlic, pepperoncino, and sometimes a splash of white wine. We’ll admit that we never thought of using it as a Christmas tree, however.
