got a good recipe for kohlrabi?

got a couple nice big ones from the farm.
roommate is a big cole slaw fan. me, not so much, tho i love raw cabbage family anything. but i think i will give that a try, as i have had some slaws that i liked. i think it is the sweetness of so many recipes that i dont like.

home fries seems like another good idea.

it's too hot for soups, tho i should have more in the fall.

You can grate them for cole slaw, although I think that's kind of a waste. I like them sliced thinly and sauteed or steamed, served with butter, salt and pepper or with soy and a little sweet rice wine (mirin). It's cabbage with a college education, meaning the flavor is mild and it doesn't make the house stink of farts if it's a little overcooked.

My favorite use is in stir fries, especially when I haven't been able to find either fresh water chestnuts or jicama. They add just the right texture with the mild cabbage flavor that goes well with Asian flavorings.

Now I think I need to swing by the international grocery and get some. I haven't had it for a while.
