6 to 8 baby heads broccoli romanesco*; or 1 full-size head or 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
Zest of 1 large lemon
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons brined capers, rinsed and chopped
2 tablespoons finely diced shallot (about 1 medium)
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and pepper

1
Peel only toughest outer leaves from broccoli romanesco, leaving tender inner ones attached. Steam broccoli in a steamer basket over simmering water, covered, until tender to the core when pierced with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Put in a serving dish.
2
Meanwhile, mix remaining ingredients, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
3
Spoon about half the green herb sauce over broccoli and turn gently to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature, with extra sauce on the side.

*Find at farmers' markets in fall and winter, and increasingly at well-stocked grocery stores.
5
Make ahead: Sauce, up to 1 day, chilled (add lemon juice at the last minute, or it will dull the sauce's color). Broccoli romanesco may be steamed a few hours ahead; let sit, loosely covered, at room temp (if chilled overnight in a container, it gets sulfurous).
