Good Eats ~ Kohlrabi

It’s the first week for this odd-looking vegetable. But, mmm, it is crunchy good!


Kohlrabi have a turnip/radish/cauliflower flavor.  You can boil, steam, or stir-fry this relative
of the cabbage family. 
It pairs well with butter (unsalted), cheese (esp. Parmesan, Swiss), cream, dill, garlic,
Dijon mustard, potatoes, sea salt, sesame oil/seeds, and soy sauce.

Kids’ favorite: eat raw with humus or brown miso.

Home Chef: Try it grilled or roasted then drizzled with olive oil and sea salt.  Or, try
Kohlrabi and Carrot Slaw

Storage: Cut off leaves, wrap in a damp paper towel, and place in a plastic bag.  Leaves can be refrigerated for 3-4 days; the bulb for several weeks.
