Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Kohlrabi is definitely the freakiest looking vegetable. It's really just the inflated stem of a cabbage, so you get the taste of cabbage whether raw or cooked, but instead of a leafy head, it's a big knob, like a water chestnut or jicama or something. The advantages over cabbage are that it can be slivered or grated or such instead of shredded like coleslaw, or sliced like water chestnut. Also, it keeps like forever, being just a knob with a waxy skin. On the other hand, it doesn't seem to be something I can eat every day for a month, which puts it in the minority of foods.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I'm looking for a tasty kohlrabi recipe. Anyone have any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I don't have any " recipes " so to speak - but I love kohlrabi raw in salads w/ a little balsamic vinagrette and shredded carrots. I've also used it in some salad wraps I've made. What worked out really nicely was a large tortilla with some sundried tomato pesto, kohlrabi, sprouts, carrots and cabbage. You'll definitely have your " roughage " covered for awhile (and I wouldn't pair this w/ a 3-bean salad!) but it's quite yummy! , " marycwilmes " <marycwilmes wrote: > > I'm looking for a tasty kohlrabi recipe.
