It is indeed a wonderful addition to the vegetable world, TN. Do give this one a go next time you’re in the mood for dipping crunchy, wierdly shaped veg!

I finally discovered this wonderful veg for myself at the Farmer’s Market this summer and am enthralled with its shape and flavor. Now I can’t wait until the weather warms up again so I can try it with your dipping sauce.

Peter: Thanks so much for dropping by! I can certainly see how pine nuts would up the ante on the skordalia, I will have to give them a go…

zerrin: The garden certainly is a whole other world, always full of little surprises and the romanesco was a particularly nice one to get :)

The Romanesco cauliflower looks so cute. I always admire the life in your garden. It’s like a different small world of plants. And the potato dipping sounds so yummy with yogurt, garlic and almonds. I love all of them. YUM!

A very nice version of Skordalia, roasted garlic would make it sublime. If you really want to splurge, try it with pine nuts!

Phoo-D: it really is striking indeed and worth a try if you should ever come across it

Diva: thanks, I now count myself as a love, love, lover of Skordalia too!

Chef E: Mother Nature’s like that, isn’t she? We can plant and nurture but sometimes she just wants to do things her way!

Lori: I only came across romanesco in the last couple of years. I’d certainly never seen it before that, but it’s the kind of thing that you’d remember seeing! It’s definitely a great match for the dip.

What a nice surprise. I had never eaten this interesting looking veggie until a few months ago, in Brazil of all places. I hadn’t seen it around at all and it showed up on my plate at a restaurant one day. :) This dip sounds so great. Perfect match.

I have seen this specimen and look forward to trying it one day! I remember planting edible flowers and such to find them not as they should have been, but coming up much later and a beautiful surprise as I came out the door to inspect other yardley duties…

What a wonderful surprise! Mother Nature is indeed a giver of gifts – even belated ones! I love, love Skordalia and this one looks excellent. I’d say you more than did your little miracle justice, Spud!

What a striking vegetable! I have never seen one of these before. The dip sounds out of this world good.
