there’s so much wild shit out there like, they got a cross between brussel sprouts and kale now, it grows little kale nuggets, it’s weird
Im a huge fan of broccolini except idfk what to call it because that’s apparently a trade mark of the Del Monte corporation and other places call it “sweet baby broccoli” but that’s INACCURATE because it ISN’T BABY BROCCOLI it’s actually a cross between BROCCOLI and GAI LAN which yields the succulent floral broccoli tops combined with the crisp crunchy asparagus like stalk of the gai lan and altogether a super premium ultra vegetable. I love that shit
If you want broccolini tips i’ve been tossing it in a light lemon garlic vinaigrette and then throwing it on the char grill until it’s charred and people go omg your broccolini, it is a so amazing
Anyway what are some other good weird brassicas y’all enjoy
I’m planning on growing mustard greens this autumn. They’re pretty excellent with garlic and onions.
Ive only done them at work once but they were good tossed on the char grill for a minute or two like the broccolini
That’s awesome! I learned to forage them around where I live, so I gather them in spring/autumn and make nice salads or stir fry.
