Ok I love veggies but this is one ive never seen or used, came in our organic box this week as a replacement for celeriac which I hate!!

I have never seen or used Kohl Rabi, what does it taste like?

What can I do with it?

Thank you

ps - If anyone wants it I have a code for a free mixed organic fruit and veg box worth £15.95 when you spend £15 with abel and cole runs out 30th april.

Hi freebiequennie,

There's an earlier thread with links to uses for kohl rabi so I've added your thread to it to keep the suggestions together.

Hi freebiequeenie - I got one for the first time this week too with A&C!
Mine is currently in the oven with cauliflower in a cheese/wine/cream/garlic mix that hopefully will turn out like cauliflower cheese with a difference...

I discovered this gorgeous veg 2 years ago at my local farm shop. Rarely seen in supermarkets, apparently, but WHY???
Folks with allotments or veg gardens, try this veg. If you get a `veg-box` don`t discard it, and if you`re a supermarket veg shopper and just curious, ASK in supermarkets and it might spread....
The green leaves on a fresh young one are like spring greens, stalks are great in stir-fries, but the bulbous bit is SO gorgeous. Peeled, like a turnip, grated and drained, then simmered in a bit of butter and its own steam.
The juices that you drain off keep or freeze to add to any stock or gravies, gorgeous vegetable stock from a gorgeous vegetable!

I have one in at the moment - and tried steaming the leaves and having with butter.

I'm now looking at the bulb itself and wondering what to do with it. I was told that the Germans just eat it "as is" like an apple. I expect I will grate mine up and use it in salad.
