Caulilini

Caulilini

Caulilini is the new vegetable that is both pretty and delicious. It is a tender variety of the cauliflower. It looks like broccolini but stems from the cauliflower. It cooks rather quickly and needs little dressing to serve it.

Caulilini is also known as sweet sprouting cauliflower.
