Lets not be fooled with the dull look of kohlrabi. It is remarkably versatile and very easy to cook; not to mention sweet and delicious...
Kohlrabi is one of those vegetables you see on the shelf in a supermarket and you think to yourself what is it? Or more simply, how do I cook with it? The quick answer is that it is something between a cabbage and a turnip. When cooked it has a soft consistency which is tender and delicious with any sauce. It is a vegetable that is growing in popularity due to its nutrition value. For example, it is rich in antioxidants, nutrients and minerals.
It goes well with meat, other vegetables and cooks quickly, just like cabbage.
