It is common for people to describe the cauliflower flavor as nutty and slightly sweet. Cauliflower and broccoli are so closely related that some naturally occurring varieties of cauliflower are often referred to by both names. Romanesco cauliflower—also called romanesco broccoli—is a perfect example. This versatile veg is delicious any way you cook it, and its mellow flavor acts like a canvas for aromatics and spices, and it works well with salty elements like anchovies, olives and capers, as well as rich, smoky bacon and speck.
