In lieu of her weekly creative inspiration, I’m going to talk with you about kohlrabi. It’s an odd-looking vegetable that resembles a science-fiction character: a green (or sometimes purple) bulb sprouts leaves held high on long stalks. Curious to look at, this delicious vegetable tastes like a cabbage apple. Once the bulb is peeled, it’s tender enough to be grated and served raw in slaws and salads, or cooked: roasted, sautéed, pureed, etc. Following are some recipes culled from the websites that I frequent when I’m looking for some particular inspiration … or, when Conne’s off for the week.
