Re: Kohlrabi anyone???

I love kohlrabi! If yours has the leaves and stems on them, don't throw the stems and leaves away because they are completely edible and taste similar to cabbage. The bulb part you can use as a "potato" substitute. So you can use them in stews, mash them, fry them, roast them.

I love kohlrabi! Used to eat it raw as a kid, peeled, lil salt and some pepper and it was very reminiscent of a tater!

If you do, please let me know how you like it. The cauliflower substitute recipes for mashed potatos really suck IMO and I'd love to find a substitute that actually tastes good!

Rick,
You can do that with Jicama too. I'll have to try it with Kohlrabi and see which is better!

Re: Kohlrabi anyone???

I made the mashed Kohlrabi tonight. I boiled it than mashed it with butter. I loved it but I have to say, it didnt taste anything like mashed potatoes!! I thought it tasted like a toss between cauliflower and cabbage but my husband thought it tasted like a rutabaga. Anyway, it's worth trying!!
