Kohlrabi (What the heck do I do with it?)

Kohlrabi looks like an alien vegetable doesn’t it? Kohlrabi comes in purple or green verities. The inside of both are the same, white. Both colors taste the same.

Kohlrabi is a brassica, the bulb portion tastes sort of like the peeled stem of broccoli to me. Or like a very mild sweet radish. It is crisp and tender. The leaves are delicious raw if they are small and young. You can sauté or juice the greens. Just treat them like any leafy green.

You need to peel the tough outer skin of the kohlrabi bulb for any prep because it is really tough. Don’t worry though, it’s really easy to peel.

Now you can slice this up and stir fry it, or roast it like you would broccoli. I like kohlrabi raw too. Shred it like cabbage and use it to replace cabbage in any salads or slaw recipe. You can also just sliced and eat it raw like you would carrots or turnips and use it to dip in ranch dressing :) (my favorite).
