12 August 201612 July 2019 RECIPESBruschetta with florets and burrata Monika Brzywczy The floret season is in full bloom and we don’t mean the fragrant roses but yet even prettier plants: cauliflower and broccoli. Magdalena Święciaszek went into the field, cut them down and prepared her indulgent meal of the week. We suggest spending more time over them (ideally, invite kids or friends to join you in preparations), separate the florets from the white and green ‘trees’, then stew them in lightly burned butter with nutty aroma. When you try them together with creamy burrata and garlic you will understand that the process was worth it… Please summer, come back! We have excellent appetizer for you!
