Spicy Kohlrabi
Kohlrabi (3 large, or about 1 1/2 pounds untrimmed)
4 cups diced
1 large onion, diced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon yellow Thai curry paste (to taste)*
Trim and peel kohlrabi, remove all of the tough outer skin. Dice into 1/2 inch cubes. Place cubes in a microwave dish, add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and microwave for 3 to 5 minutes or until kohl rabi starts to soften. Drain water and set aside.
Sauté onion in olive oil until translucent. Add curry paste and drained kohlrabi, stir well. Cover and cook over low heat until the kohl rabi is very tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Use the back of a large spoon to mash chunks (or leave chunky). Garnish with cilantro.
*Note on curry paste: Thai curry paste is available at many grocery stores, the most common being red and green and yellow. Green is hottest, followed by red, then yellow. It will keep in the refrigerator a long time and a jar goes a long way. If Thai curry is not to your liking, then try using 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of any Indian curry powder, taco seasoning mix or just plain cumin.
