More family recipes next week. Today, I had a conundrum with this week's CSA box. It contained a Kohlrabi. My first thought was Kohl what? My second thought was what do I do with it? According to the Food.com website, kohlrabi is a German word. Kohl means cabbage, Rabi means turnip. It looks like a turnip, it grows on top of the ground and it has a broccoli/cucumber flavor. Okay, so now I knew what it looked like, what to do with it? As I peeled it, I noted that it had a cabbage like smell. A small taste reflected that odor, so I tried making coleslaw with it and it turned out beautifully. If you have two kohlrabi, double the apple and the carrot. Do NOT double the dressing - you will have plenty. To learn more about CSA's, http://tryandlike.blogspot.com/2011/03/csa-join-now.html. To make the slaw:
1 kohlrabi (3 - 4 inches in diameter)
1/2 granny smith apple
1/2 cup sliced carrot
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 Tbl lime juice.
Peel and Julienne the kohlrabi. Julienne the apple. Combine with carrots in a bowl. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, brown sugar and lime juice. Pour over the kohlrabi mixture.
