Description
Kohlrabi, also known as "German turnip," is a cultivar of cabbage and so named because the bulbous stem resembles a turnip. Both the stem and the leaves are edible, and the vegetable can be eaten raw as well as cooked. Kohlrabi has a sweet and mild taste, similar to cabbage heart and broccoli stem.
For people already familiar with the brightly flavored and crispy raw kohlrabi, the tender caramelized sweetness of this hearty vegetable will be a delightful discovery. It's delicious on its own, but feel free to add some fresh herbs when you serve it, or a drizzle a bit of balsamic vinegar to bring out even more of its natural sweetness. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese is also a delicious finish to this dish.
