Green, part I

Here's a little taste of 'GREEN' for my first installation of May's ROY G BIV photo challenge*. This crazy, psychedelic green vegetable—an intimate relative of broccoli & cauliflower—was a frequent guest in our kitchen this past winter. Fascinated by its naturally occurring fractals, and in anticipation of this month's ROY G BIV, I photographed the last broccolo romanesco of the season...it almost could have worked for 'YELLOW' last month, but it is most decidedly, if oddly, green.

As with most vegetables, my favorite way to prepare the broccolo romanesco is to simply chop it into bite-sized pieces and sauté in a little olive oil, along with a little garlic, then season with salt & pepper...quick, easy & delicious! 

 

 By the way, it isn't 'growing' in the pot...it just seemed like a fun way to photograph the broccolo romanesco, and this one fit perfectly.

* The ROY G BIV photo challenge was started by artists Jennifer Coyne Qudeen & Julie Booth last year. Each month is devoted to a different color of the rainbow—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo & violet. This is the second year, and all are welcome to join in; guidelines are here.
