Kohlrabi Recipe #1 |
Greek Style Kohlrabi |
 If you can get past its odd looks, kohl rabi is a versatile vegetable.
In this recipe, it's prepared "Greek-style", with fresh pears, dates and Feta cheese.
It makes a great salad and works best with young kohlrabi, which are still smaller than 8cm and are less woody than the larger variety.
The sweetness of the pears and dates contrast beautifully with the sharpness of the Feta cheese. The kohl rabi is subtle enough to "hold things together".

Notes & Variations |
Experiment with your favourite dressings for this one. If you find the one in the recipe too sweet, miss out the honey and add some olive oil to the balsamic vinegar.
If you're short of time, you can boil the kohlrabi, rather than roasting it. |

This was my first kohlrabi and I actually had everything on hand to do this when I went looking for a recipe. I used rocket for the salad leaves which added a nice contrasting bite. We really liked the salad and dressing though I only used about half the amount of honey and added a touch of lemon juice to balance it. I only gave it an 8 because for us the kohlrabi didn't actually improve the recipe, I will do this again as a salad without the kohlrabi. I think it just isn't going a favorite veggie for us. As my husband put it, "don't buy a kohlrabi to do the recipe, but if we get one again in the veg box this recipe was an ok way to use it." |
