How does one cook kalirabi?

[cabe]

Pretend it is a turnip, just green.I like raw best as a crunchy additon to a salad , but diced very small.You can steam it or boil it, but not too long. Squeeze just a tiny bit of lemon in their to help.Take out then cover in butter, salt and pepper mmmmmmmm Marty.(DO NOT FORGET TO PEEL IT)

Why would you want to cook it, It’s perfect just the way it is! I think kohlrabi is my second favorite veggie, #1 would have to be an onion, could you just imagine how boring food would be with out the onion?

I love fresh picked kohl-rabi before they get to the size of a tennis ball.
Peal the outer skin and slice or cube. Steam it just until they are hot and sprinkle lightly with black pepper and add butter. It's very good that way and the simplest.

I'm with the "raw" crowd. I eat'em like apples.

Oh, it's good raw, but if you lightly stir fry in some olive oil with garlic and onion, then top with a plop of sour cream..... MMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Kohlrabi. It isn't just for breakfast anymore!

steam/boil, make cheese sauce in juice or sep (use as caul or broc) small ones need no peeling

[CraftyDiva]

It makes a great cole slaw also.

Well, y'all have convinced me to try it -- just the other day I saw some for sale for cheap in the Asian markets. So does it taste like a turnip? or jicama? or parsnip? or brassica? or what?

To me kohl-rabi tastes like a mild cross between a cabbage and turnip. Very nice addition for a raw dipping veggie.

kohlrabi ( peeled! ) tastes exactly liked peeled broccoli stems to me, I like it raw, yum!

Kohlrabi and rutabaga can both be used to make low carb potato salad. But I love them raw the best.
