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
Ok, I have another one. Radi (“Rettich”), which is long white radish and quite big. It tastes similar to the small red round radishes.
You cut it into an accordion-like strip, salt the insides lots, then wait at least 20 minutes while it weeps. You then rip off bits with your hands, squeeze some of the salty liquid out, and eat it with a buttered pretzel or bread in a beer garden, as Brotzeit (“bread time”, basically an irregular snack pause between meals), or for dinner.
Im wondering if that cut works with hassleback potatoes to make fancy accordion potatoes (on that note the initial cut would probably be easier if they put the radish between two cutting boards so the gap serves as a guard so the knife doesn’t slice through. Alternatively i guess i could Get Good and free hand it like they do)
