Tony Gemignani, pizza master and restaurateur
It’s winter and the farmers market is always full of beautiful vegetables. One of my favorites is Romanesco, which is underutilized in the pizza industry. It’s a little like broccoli but tastes more like a cauliflower. It’s very popular in Italy — but even in Italy it’s not an ingredient seen on many pizzas. Here is a delicious recipe that incorporates fresh Meyer lemons and roasted garlic. Enjoy.
