Purple Broccoli

Broccoli in our garden....


....becomes broccoli on our plates.


I dressed mine with a little toasted sesame oil and balsamic vinegar, and sprinkled I'itoi green onions over the top. The colors in the top picture were not retouched.

Isn't it cool looking? I bought purple cauliflower at our farmers market earlier this winter. It tasted the same but when I ate it, I kept expecting it to be pickled 'cause that's what it looked like :)

I am trying to love broccoli, but the only thing I have liked is broccoli soup, and it's not vegan. Sometimes I like it on pizza.

Beautiful! My kids adore purple broccoli but not as much as the orange cauliflower.

Wow!!what a nice color to broccoli.. I have harvested some of the over wintering purple broccoli. We were very surprised to see it in the growing plot when spring arrived. There is actually more available to harvest than I originally thought.
