Romanesco & Tofu Dinner Bowl

Broccoli is my absolute favorite vegetable, so I was excited to try Romanesco for the first time. This weird, alien-looking, cross between broccoli and cauliflower vegetable is nutrient dense (filled with vitamin C, folate, potassium and fiber), a bit sweeter than broccoli, and more easily digested than other vegetables. If broccoli and cauliflower upset your stomach, try Romanesco for your cruciferous fix! And, as with most foods, save the stems and leaves! Chop them up and include them when you sauté the florets!

ROMANESCO & TOFU BOWL (serves: 4)
