I should not have complained about the heat. 'Cause it's gone. Tonite the temp is supposed to be 8 degrees (Celsius). Not sure what that is Fahrenheit but I know that it's cold for August. A few days ago we were sweltering and now for the past two days its been windy and cold. Ugh! But enough about the weather or this blog will turn into a weather blog instead of a food blog.
Today, I cooked another of my organic-type purchases, Kohlrabi. I am told there are several types; this one was a pale green and even lighter green on the inside. It's easy to cook. Peel it with a sharp vegetable peeler and cut it into small chunks or slices. Bring it to a boil in very lightly salted water and simmer as you would a potato. It is done when fork-tender. I just put a little butter and pepper on it. The taste is similar to a very mild turnip although its ancestry is the wild cabbage which is also the origin of the common cabbage, broccoli etc.
It would nicely accompany a pork or roast beef dish. Also a nice vegetarian addition. I would think this could be added to any full-tasting soup such as beef vegetable but maybe a bit too strong in a chicken based soup. Again, a welcome addition to a vegetarian soup.
