Kohlrabi

 

My friend S gave me this large kohlrabi from her sister's farm.  I have made this before.  I am thinking of roasting it with carrots and potatoes.  Apparently you can eat the leaves as well, either stir frying or cutting them up as a salad.  Stay tuned for updates!

Ingo adds butter and parsley when cooked, and potatoes. But I look forward to yours!

You see kohlrabi everywhere here :-) costs about 20 cents when in season.

Interesting plant. I've never seen one or eaten one. Appears to be an uptight cabbage to me. Be sure and include your frying recipe. And give us a bite to taste! Linda in Kansas

I’ve never cooked with kohlrabi before, but it looks like such a versatile vegetable. Roasting it with carrots and potatoes sounds like a lovely idea, especially with something fresh from a local farm. I’m curious to see how it turns out.

I love kohlrabi, but usually eat it raw-just peeled and sliced.

I've never had Kohlrabi. And I'm not sure I've ever seen one either. Let us know how you enjoy it.

Kohlrabi is a wonderful low-carb vegetable chock-full of vitamins and may be used instead of potatoes, but also raw in salads.
Enjoy ...

All the best Jan

I had my first kohlrabi two years ago. I loved it -- but raw. So good as a crudite, snack or dipped!

I have heard of this but have never cooked it. I will be interested in your results.
