Kohlrabi?

Kohlrabi? 



So what's the deal with kohlrabi? Check out these storage tips and recipe for some ideas about how to use it! If you have any great recipes or kohlrabi experiences of your own - please post! 
Storage tips: Before storing, remove the leaves (you can keep them in a plastic bag in a refrigerator for two days). Wrap kohlrabi in a damp towel and place in refrigerator to keep for two weeks. Frozen kohlrabi will keep up to nine months; blanch sliced or halved Kohlrabi for 3 minutes prior to freezing.
Cooking tips: Use raw or cooked in salads, stir-fries, or casseroles.

Sauteed Kohlrabi with Onions and Cream 
       Cubes of peeled kohlrabi
       Thinly sliced white onion 
       Unsalted butter 
       Finely shredded kohlabi leaves
       Heavy cream 
       Salt and pepper 
       Grated nutmeg




    • Cook kohlrabi and onion in butter over medium-high heat until almost tender. Stir in kohlrabi leaves, and cook until wilted. Add a generous splash of heavy cream, and cook for a few seconds to reduce. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Serve with chicken, pork chops, or steak.

  1. This sounds delicious Margaret! I have only ever eaten kohlrabi raw. I will have to try this the next time we get one in the CSA. Thanks for sharing!
