got a good recipe for kohlrabi?
 
got a couple nice big ones from the farm.

roommate is a big cole slaw fan. me, not so much, tho i love raw cabbage family anything. but i think i will give that a try, as i have had some slaws that i liked. i think it is the sweetness of so many recipes that i dont like.

home fries seems like another good idea.

it's too hot for soups, tho i should have more in the fall. 

Big Mo's been yakking a lot about a roommate lately; one wonders what that is, male, female, old, young, freeloader or pays own way, romantic or platonic.

Anyway.

Kohlrabi (German turnip or turnip cabbage; Brassica oleracea Gongylodes Group) is an annual vegetable, and is a low, stout cultivar of cabbage. Kohlrabi can be eaten raw as well as cooked. Edible preparations are made with both the stem and the leaves.

Whatever.  It doesn't look all that appetizing.

1. If they're large, peel them. If they're the size of shooter marbles, don't
 
You can grate them for cole slaw, although I think that's kind of a waste. I like them sliced thinly and sauteed or steamed, served with butter, salt and pepper or with soy and a little sweet rice wine (mirin). It's cabbage with a college education, meaning the flavor is mild and it doesn't make the house stink of farts if it's a little overcooked.

My favorite use is in stir fries, especially when I haven't been able to find either fresh water chestnuts or jicama. They add just the right texture with the mild cabbage flavor that goes well with Asian flavorings.

Now I think I need to swing by the international grocery and get some. I haven't had it for a while.

Mo the Chicken Witch with German cabbage farts is even more unappealing than Mo the Chicken Witch alone.

I pity the roommate.

Meanwhile in other news... a large structure fire occurred in a chicago suburb after a house exploded. The resultant fire spread to the entire block. The fire dept states they think the cause was a gas leak. The investigation is ongoing.

Most every form of cooked cabbage I've ever encountered as a main dish has made me gag.  I know what kohlrabi looks like, but I've never been tempted to try it.

Mo-Mo should make kim chee (which is not limited to cabbage). I'm sure she's been in it deeply more than once.
