Kohlrabi Side Dish in Creamy Sauce image

Kohlrabi is often served in a creamy, white sauce in Germany as a side dish. It's simply made with kohlrabi, butter, flour, and spices.

Provided by Jennifer McGavin

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 to 4 fresh kohlrabi
2 cups broth or salted water
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
Freshly grated nutmeg to taste
Salt to taste
Garnish: parsley

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Cut away the peel, being sure to remove any woody or stringy parts , just under the surface. If the bulb is young, you will not have to cut as deep as if it is old. If your kohlrabi is fresh, save some of the inner, tender leaves for garnish. Note: The younger the kohlrabi is, the better. Older vegetables become woody and very pungent. If you do have a large one, you will not need as many, but you may have to remove more of the peel.
  • Cut the bulb into thick slices with a large knife, then into strips or cubes, as you like.
  • Heat the vegetable broth or salted water to boiling, then add the kohlrabi, reduce the heat and cook the vegetables until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain, reserving broth, and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a pan and stir in the flour. For a gluten-free sauce, use gluten-free flour, such as rice flour, brown rice flour or sorghum flour, all of which thicken just fine.
  • Cook the flour in the butter over medium heat for several minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Little by little add the saved broth or cooking water. Stir after each addition until smooth, then bring it back to bubbling. Add enough of the broth to make a velvety sauce, about 1 to 2 cups.
  • Season to taste with freshly grated nutmeg and salt.
  • Stir in the cooked kohlrabi and heat through.
  • Chop the reserved leaves and some parsley and sprinkle on top of the vegetables for a little color and a nice presentation.
  • Enjoy! Serve the kohlrabi with salt potatoes or rice and a pan-fried schnitzel or "Frikadellen" (seasoned hamburger patties) or a couple of fried eggs. Breaded, pan-fried fish fillets would also be good.

CREAMY KOHLRABI SOUP



Creamy Kohlrabi Soup image

This is a simple but hearty dish. It's similar to cream of broccoli soup only much better! My husband loves this soup so much he planted kohlrabi in our garden; it looks like a small green turnip. The taste and texture of kohlrabi are similar to those of a broccoli stem or cabbage heart, but milder and sweeter. Serve with your favorite bread.

MONIKA MAGEE'S OLD-FASHIONED KOHLRABI WITH CREAM SAUCE



Monika Magee's Old-Fashioned Kohlrabi With Cream Sauce image

Provided by Leslie Land

Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 45m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 to 14 2-inch kohlrabi (the big ones are fibrous), enough to make about 6 cups prepared
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1/3 cup milk
3/4 cup half-and-half, not ultrapasteurized
1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Several scrapes of fresh nutmeg

Steps:

  • Peel the kohlrabi, slice into quarter-inch-thick slices, then cut the slices into matchsticks a quarter-inch broad. Set aside.
  • Make the sauce. Melt the butter in a small, heavy saucepan, stir in the flour and cook over very low heat, stirring often, for 15 minutes.
  • Add the milk in a thin stream, beating with a wire whisk. Raise the heat to low-medium, stir in the half-and-half and cook the sauce, stirring almost constantly, until it smoothly coats a spoon, about 10 minutes. Keep warm over very low heat, stirring from time to time.
  • Put the kohlrabi in a basket steamer over boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until just tender. It should be firm to the bite but not Chinese-crisp.
  • When the kohlrabi is almost done, beat the egg yolk in a heatproof bowl, beat in a bit of the warm sauce and then add the yolk mixture to the saucepan. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is very thick and hot, but do not let it boil.
  • Season the sauce with salt to taste and just enough nutmeg to give a toasty flavor without being too assertive. Remove the basket from the steamer and toss the contents gently until the surfaces are completely dry, then combine the kohlrabi with the sauce and serve at once.
