you OTT to try this recipe for kohlrabi casserole

I have found that a lot of people are unfamiliar with the vegetable: Kohlrabi. From time to time you may find it at a farmers' market, but rarely a grocery store. Ott, E introduced me to it and we have grown it in our garden for two years now. As you can see in the picture it is easy to grow and bulb like in appearance. The plant is related to cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. You can cut it up and eat it on a salad (I think it taste a little bit like a radish when you do). Or, you can fix it on the grill like I did here.

Firstly, to prepare the kohlrabi for anything you will need to break off the leaves, stems and taproot and then wash it.

Next, you will need to take a vegetable peeler and remove the skin of the Kohlrabi, it is tough and hard to chew.

Then slice up the kohlrabi into bite size pieces.

I have searched and searched for recipes for kohlrabi and they are hard to find. However, this past winter a co-worker of mine brought a cookbook into the office and I stumble upon this recipe for a kohlrabi casserole. I held on to it all these months, until our kohlrabi was ready to harvest, and fixed it this past week. Surprisingly enough, it was really good and I would totally recommend it to anyone. If you have seen kohlrabi and wanted to give it a try this is the recipe for you!! (As always I have a handy recipe card here with the ingredients and directions and have some tips for the recipe below.)

Here it is!  This will make a great side dish to any meat entree.  It has good flavor and is fairly simple to make and will add some diversity to your dinner selections.  Enjoy!!
