kohlrabi = yummy?
we are now 3 weeks into our first CSA. so far its been very good. i am finding it a bit challenging to eat all of the food before the next round gets picked up. we do eat a lot of vegetables in our house but even with a half share i am finding it difficult to use everything up. in addition, there have been some interesting inclusions in our pickup which i am preparing and/or eating for the first time ever! i am no stranger to vegetables but this is the first time that i have eaten celeriac or kohlrabi. i have now sampled hakurei turnips and rapini! i've added at least 2 new recipes to my repertoire and am sure to be seeking more. i have been checking out a few CSA websites that have recipes, such as A Bushel of What? our CSA does provide us with a weekly newsletter that includes recipes as well. last night i made kohlrabi potato pancakes. we will be making those again. it was amusing last night when i had to go to the computer to figure out if i had to peel the kohlrabi first! for the most part i have been able to modify existing recipes to incorporate the enormous pile of greens that we are now eating, like making giant stirfries with rapini instead of spinach, using fresh garlic instead of bulbs. this weekend i think i will make a kale tofu curry (instead of palak paneer). i can't wait to see whats in the bin next week!
