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
Id put kale up (down?) there. Not my favourite.
How dare you. Kale is like 80% of my green stuff consumption in winter.
Turnip greens are so fucking bitter, christ, i blanched them to drain bitter compounds and then cooked them how i do collard greens and they were fuckin nasty
They were good when i did sarson ka saag but that’s only because it was 25% turnip greens, 50% kale and 25% spinach
Kale is good especially tossed in a little lemon and garlic and oil and roasted quick and hot
