A mess o' greens

ksmithI've picked all four kohlrabi that I planted. I doubt I will plant any next year, but they were a nice thing to try.
It's a member of the cabbge family. Some folks eat it raw, and I found a nice recipe for kohlrabi-apple slaw that I may make. It can also be roasted, boiled, mashed, and is used as a substitute for cabbage in some German recipes.
Along with the actual bulb, you can also eat the greens. I wasn't planning on doing that at first.Then I thought oh, why not? So after I pulled the bulbs out of the ground, I trimmed and washed the leaves, then hunted for recipes. Settled for this one, because it could get any simpler--boil, add toasted sesame oil and soy sauce. Had some of the cooked greens with leftover meatloaf and mashed potatoes. They are such a deep, rich green. In taste, they reminded me strongly of brussels sprouts.
I'll have the rest tomorrow with roast chicken.
I have time to cook!
I don't have to write tonight!
