I had two lonely kohlrabi sitting in my produce drawer since last week, and I’ve been wondering what to do with them. My BFF from home sent me a recipe yesterday with the following tidbit – “How come you can never even hear of something and then once you do, it just keeps popping up. Saw this on a site today…” Attached was this awesome recipe…
Kohlrabi Curry – courtesy of the Pioneer Woman’s Tasty Kitchen! So of course, as soon as I got home from work yesterday, I immediately started some rice in the rice cooker, and got to work trimming my kohlrabi.
I made a few substitutions to the original recipe, because I wanted to bulk it up. I added two diced summer squash and two diced carrots to the roasting pan with the kohlrabi.
I also added a can of chickpeas, because I wanted to get a little more protein for the day, and because I love them. :)
The end result was awesome! Very flavorful, and a fun combination of spices.
Served on top of one of my favorite things in life – white rice cooked in a teaspoon of coconut oil. Heaven!
Thank you Lindsey, and Tracy from the Tasty Kitchen, for the great recipe!
Off to the farm for a BIG day of cooking. I have one lunch and two 4-course dinners to cook before tomorrow evening – eeeeek!

I had never heard of kohlrabi either, until you featured it. I spotted it at the grocery store a few days ago, so I’m definitely going to give it a try!
Have a great day :)

I saw that yesterday, too, and thought of you! I was going to email, but the day was hectic–I’m glad someone else beat me to it! :)
(Just a heads-up that the way Tasty Kitchen works is that anyone can upload one recipe or 2309843–it just collects them! It’s PW’s site, but the recipe is actually courtesy of someone named Tracy! Her name and a link to her other recipes is at the top of this recipe.)

I know! :) That’s why I thought I’d point it out! You’re always SUPER careful about that, which is awesome.

Let’s see how many times I see kohlrabi now that I’ve heard about it here! Ha! I still need to get me some coconut oil! I love adding coconut water to my rice but I think the oil would make it nice and fluffy! Coconut makes everything better!

It is SO GOOD! I just add 1 tsp to the water when I cook, and it makes a world of difference.

I was introduced to kohlrabi two years ago and this year I’m growing it in my garden. I’ve only ever sliced it up and sprinkled with sea salt and eaten it raw. I can’t wait until mine are ready and I’m going to try roasting them.

Wow, good luck with all that cooking! I love coconut rice too :-)

I’m late, because this is all from you last post, but – 1) I seriously died of jealousy when you said you had a pet skunk! My desire for a skunk comes in just behind a pig, and a badger. 2. That is awesome that you did 14years of competitive gymnastics; do you think you’ll ever do a post relating to that?

I’ve never even heard of half the things you use to cook, but you are really inspiring me to get out of my cooking comfort zone! Yum…

That recipe sounds delicious :) I had kohlrabi tonight w/ dinner:
I shredded 2 kholrabi and 2 carrots, sliced 2 green onions and mixed everything w/ some spelt flour, salt, and egg, formed them into little patties and sauteed them in sunflower oil for a few minutes on each side. They were pretty yummy. That was my first time eating kohlrabi and I really liked it.
