Kohlrabi

My girlfriend S gave me these Kohlrabi vegetables the other day. I had never made these before. Apparently you can eat them raw in salads. I ended up roasting mine. They have a 'radish' kind of taste. They may be better in soups or stews or maybe even stir-fried. Still, it's a great vegetable. Do you know any good ways to prepare Kohlrabi?  Or have you ever heard of this vegetable?

I like it! Yes in salads. I've not roasted it before.

I love it, too. We usually cut it into thin slices,boil it , and serve it in a creamy sauce as an accompaniment to meat. It's great as salad as well. It's used a lot here in Germany. Valerie

I've never heard of Kohlrabi. I'm so curious now... I'll have to check in the local markets to see if we have some here.

We had it in the produce department I worked at, it didn't sell very good

When sliced, they look like turnips! I'm not sure though if I have ever encountered this before unless it has a colloquial term.

We get kohlrabi every winter in our CSA box. I usually toss them out as I have yet to find any way to fix them that I like.
