Ingredients: 11

Ingredients
1 bunch Broccolini®
200g Fioretto® Cauli Blossom
4 150g pieces fresh salmon, skin on, pin boned
2 tbs vegetable oil
1 tbs black sesame seeds, toasted
sliced red chilli and green shallots, to garnish

Ponzu Ginger Sauce:
1 tbs mirin,
1 tbs rice vinegar,
2 tbs soy,
2 tbs yuzu juice,
1 tbs grated fresh ginger,

Method
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Using 1 tablespoon of oil, rub over both sides of the salmon. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, skin-side down, for 3 minutes or until skin is crisp. Turn and cook for a further 2-3 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate, skin-side up and cover with foil. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest.
Meanwhile, heat a wok over high heat until hot. Add the remaining oil. Add the Broccolini® and Fioretto® and stir-fry for 2 minutes until almost tender. Remove to a plate.
Add all the ponzu ginger sauce ingredients to the hot wok and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2 minutes until reduced slightly. Return the Broccolini® and Fioretto® to the wok and stir-fry for 2 minutes until the vegetables are well coated.
Pile the vegetables and sauce onto serving plates and top with salmon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, chilli and shallots.
Tip: Yuzu is a Japanese citrus. The juice is available in Asian grocery stores. Once opened, store in the fridge. You can use grapefruit or pomelo juice as a replacement.

This May, a beautiful new cauliflower is coming to town and it's set to transform autumn cooking and your Instagram feeds.

Fioretto® Cauli Blossom has long, green stems with tiny, white, blossom-like florets. It is entirely edible and has a sweeter flavour than traditional cauliflower.

Dubbed the 'Broccolini® of cauliflower', Fioretto® Cauli Blossom is in season from May to August and will be available in Australian stores for the first time this autumn.

Anthony Mason was one of the first Fioretto® Cauli Blossom growers in Australia and has been trialling the crop for four years.

"The Fioretto® looks like a traditional cauliflower when they begin to grow and then stretch out and elongate," said the Victorian grower.

"We give them a lot of love and care, checking on them daily, so we can pick them just as they begin to flower, which is when they are perfect for eating.

"The Fioretto® stems turns bright green when cooked and looks fantastic next to the little white flowers. I'm so excited to now be sharing this delicious new veggie with Australian families."

Fioretto® Cauli Blossom can be eaten raw or cooked. It's great blanched, pickled, stir-fried, roasted or on the grill and what's even better, is it doesn't carry the typical cooking odour of a traditional cauliflower.

Fioretto® Cauli Blossom is unique vegetable variety that was first bred in Japan. It is now exclusively grown in Australia by Perfection Fresh, one of Australia's oldest and largest family-owned fresh produce companies.

"When we first saw Fioretto®, we were reminded of Broccolini®, which is such a favourite with Australian families. We have a feeling Fioretto® will be the same," said Mr Simonetta, Perfection Fresh Australia CEO.

"We've done some small trials with customers and they just love the versatility and unique mild flavour of this wonderful new vegetable."

Fioretto® Cauli Blossom will be available exclusively in the at Woolworths stores across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria from May.

Four Reasons Fioretto® Cauli Blossoms Are The Bee's Knees:
1. The Perfect Bouquet – Fioretto® means 'little flower' in Italian and was aptly named to describe the Cauli Blossom's delicate flowering heads. Many have described Fioretto® as an edible bridal bouquet.
2. Entirely Edible – Fioretto®'s tender green stems and pretty flower-like heads are entirely edible. Simply pull the bouquet apart and enjoy in a variety of ways - blanche, barbeque, roast, stir fry or even raw.

3. Nutritious and Delicious - Fioretto® Cauli Blossom is high in vitamin C, dietary fibre and potassium, and belongs to the super healthy brassica veggie family that includes power greens like Broccolini®, kale and Brussel sprouts.
4. Storage – The best way to store Fioretto® is simply in its pack in the fridge.
