Looks like there are some people still lurking around here.

Does anyone have any recipes for Kohlrabi? I see it at the Farmer's Market and I really want to buy it but I have no clue how to cook the thing once I get it. There aren't a lot of recipes online either, the foodnetwork didn't even have any!

It is not a very exciting veggie. My 2 cents is to eat it raw, cut up and dipped into some hummus. My wife is going to try and pickle it this year, too.

We sliced it thin and roasted it, I think. It was very potatoey. But I agree - not overly exciting.

I think is what we did, but I can't quite remember:

Here is a page of different things:

I do a lentil curry and use kohlrabi instead of turnip. I saute the kohlrabi and the onions a while until the raw taste goes away.

Pickle it! Put it in a mix with sliced radish, shredded carrots, slivered bell peppers, chopped onion, whatever else is around that looks good. Makes a wonderful pickled "side-salad" that when properly pickled/fermented is loaded with probiotics.

If they are over-riped and have the "wooden" texture I would toss them in to anything I would normally put root vegetables in like soups or stews.
If they are "young" a nicely crunchy I just eat them raw (they're my favored vegetables to just munch on) but you can also slice them thin (Juline?) and add them to stir-fry they add nice texture and taste, in my opinion anyways .
