Straight from outer space, and into my belly, this alien vegetable is a new one for me. But this is yet another joy of being part of a CSA share: being exposed to new and wonderful vegetables. Just when you thought you knew them all, kohlrabi drops like a meteor into your veggie-loving heart.
Tastes a bit like a cross between a broccoli stem, turnip, and radish. In other words: unique. To prepare, pull off the leaves (juice 'em!), and peel the remaining 'bulb' (the outside is quite woody). From here you have a lot of options. Basically, anything you would do with a potato, you can do with kohlrabi.
I chopped it and made a tinfoil packet for the BBQ. It looked a little plain and colourless on it's own, so I added some striped beets and scape, tossed it with olive oil, and salt + pepper. Delish!
