This Broccoflower with Garlic, Balsamic, Basil & Parmesan is a vibrantly colored side dish. Broccoflower is a cross between broccoli and cauliflower, two vegetables that are actually so closely related that they can be easily cross-pollinated. One type of broccoflower looks just like white cauliflower, but is lime-green in color.
