What is Kohlrabi?

Kohlrabi tastes a bit like turnip or cabbage. It’s just a little bit sweeter and super easy to peel once they’ve been cut. You can eat both the stem and the leaves of this vegetable.

Raw or Cooked: It can be shredded and added to a slaw or sliced and added to a tossed salad!

Like most root veggies, it can also be oven-roasted or broiled, baked or steamed. It is an elegant vegetable with a mild flavor that everyone will love!

How to Prepare Kohlrabi

  1. Wash kohlrabi thoroughly and pat dry. Trim the tops and stems off and save them for another recipe (freeze them in zippered bags labeled with the date. They are amazing in stir-fries or stock).
  2. Cut the bulbs into halves or quarters so they are easier to handle.
  3. Peel them with a vegetable peeler and then slice them all the same size so they roast evenly. Whole kohlrabi bulbs are harder to peel than ones cut in halves or quarters.

How to Cook Kohlrabi

    1. peel the kohlrabi
    2. add olive oil and season it
    3. oven roast it to tender-crisp perfection (recipe below).

Tips for Success

  • Cut it thicker (or cube it) for firmer pieces.
  • Once kohlrabi is cooled, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Oven-roasted kohlrabi does not freeze well and will become too soft once thawed. It’s best just to make a fresh batch!

Fennel Is, Without a Doubt, Our Favorite Spring Herb

Image
Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which we break down our favorite unique seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more.   This week we’ve got fronds on the brain—fennel fronds, that is. You can find fresh fennel year round, but it really peaks during spring. Once you get your hands on fennel, you’ll probably be taken by the pleasant, anise-like aroma and then immediately think to yourself: “Okay…but what do I do with this?” Because as cool as fennel is to look at, and as lovely as it smells, it’s not the most common herb to cook with. Adding crushed fennel seeds to meatballs? Duh! But roasted fresh fennel wedges as part of a weeknight meal? Can’t say that’s exactly in my repertoire.    So if you want to start cooking with fennel, we’ll go over what to look for when selecting fennel, how to store it, and how to use every part of the plant from bulb to stalk to fronds—and more! Licorice haters fear not, there might be hope for you and fennel after all.   What to Look For First things...
