HI!  We grew a bunch of kohlrabis this year and I'm just wondering if anybody knows of any good recipes with them.  I've only eaten them raw and fried in butter and seasons (sooo good!!!)  Thanks, Kari

Here's another one, Kari.  This is a little different...
 
Brunch Baked Cinnamon Kohlrabi    
  • 6 kohlrabi bulbs, peeled
  • 1 large sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Salt and pepper to taste 
  • Parsley sprigs for garnish  
  1. Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan.  Immerse kohlrabies and boil until they are crisp-tender when pierced with a fork, about 20minutes. Drain and cool.
  2. Trim 1/4-inch from the root end of the kohlrabies.  Scoop out pulp from the opposite end leaving 1/4-inch thick shells.  Dice the pulp and set aside. Place shells in a lightly oiled baking dish.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  In a separate bowl,  toss diced pulp, onion, cinnamon, oil and breadcrumbs.  Press mixture into shells.
  4. Bake uncovered until the onions are limp and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
  5. Transfer to a warmed serving platter and keep wwarm. Reserve the liquid.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix the arrowroot with the water, stirring until completely dissolved.  Set aside.  Pour reserved liquid into a small saucepan and bring to a boil.  Remove from the heat and slowly add the arrowroot, stirring constantly.  Add more water as may be necessary so that you have a sauce-like consistency.  Season.
  7. Spoon sauce around the the stuffed kohlrabies, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Oops, sorry! The correct link for that last recipe is http://recipes.wenzel.net/.  They have other recipes there using kohlrabi.  The Pickled Kohlrabi looks especially interesting if you're harvesting a lot of the stuff and want to preserve it.
