Kohlrabi Puree

Loosely adapted from: Farmgirl Fare

Ok, so we had a bunch of purple kohlrabi in our farm share 2 weeks ago, and I didn't know what to do with it, so it sat in the fridge for 2 weeks. I finally used it up today, and wished we had more.

I found this recipe for Kohlrabi Puree from Farmgirl Fare. In her recipe she used the greens from the kohlrabi and also mushrooms (which I didn't have on hand). I used her basic method but didn't follow the recipe closely enough to copy it below. I pretty much just made mine like mashed potatoes, but added onions and garlic and put it in the food processor to make it smooth.

3 bulbs of Kohlrabi (more if you have it, and then just adjust the rest of the ingredients to accommodate)
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 Tbsp olive oil
couple splashes of milk
1 Tbsp butter
a bit of grated parmesan
salt and pepper to taste.

Cut the tops and bottoms off each kohlrabi bulb. Peel if the skin seems tough. Cut bulbs into 1-inch pieces. Cover with water in a pot and boil until kohlrabi is tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and add kohlrabi to the bowl of a food processor.

In a saute pan, saute onions and garlic in olive oil until tender. Add to the food processor.

Add a splash of milk, butter, parmesan, salt and pepper to mixture in food processor. Leave the hole in the processor open so the steam can escape, but cover with it a dishtowel and your hand to prevent anything from splashing out. Process all ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

You can also eat it raw. You can slice it thinly and use to scoop up hummus. I thought it was pretty good.
