Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 10 min.

Begin by removing any leaves from the romanesco then separate the small florets, as shown in this video.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.

Wash the florets by soaking them in a large quantity of cold water with 1 tablespoon white (spirit) vinegar.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 3 min.

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, then plunge the romanesco florets into the pan and cook for just 2 or 3 minutes. They should still be slightly crunchy.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 5 min.

Remove the florets from the pan with a spider and plunge them into very cold water to stop the cooking.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Drain the florets then dry them more thoroughly in a salad spinner.

Stage 6

Your romanesco is now ready for use in a recipe.

Keeping: A few days in the fridge in a sealed container or covered with plastic film.
