It's always still up here in NY, cooked right (Have to cook it perfectly or else it's horrible) with a little olive oil and garlic - "solid" Spence, maybe you should answer this in the Ask Spence forum.

It's easy to cook as long as you blanch it for 3 min before you finish it in the saute pan. I like mine very simple as you mention, good olive oil and garlic, always some red pepper and sometimes a little salt packed anchovy or good balsamic.

If you don't blanch it it's bitter as a mother.

Red pepper, no doubt!!!

broccoli wants to bolt when you get these real hot days into the 90's
and then that's when i'll top it...and get all the side shoots to grow...

most gardeners seem to think the spring time is the best time to grow vegetables...
which is false. my best producing gardens have always been in the fall.

Done that before, but it's only good for a few cuttings until it bolts. Also takes a lot of square footage to grow...The problem is a few good meals and it's done for the year. I need just in time rapini.
