KOHLRABI
   
     Kohlrabi is a relative of broccoli. The edible globe is actually a
swollen stem with a delicate and unusual flavor similar to a mix
between a cabbage and a turnip.  Wash and trim off any woody
portions and peel the skin before using.  Here are a few ideas on
cooking with kohlrabi.

        Sauté grated with butter and add herbs or curry.
        Cut raw for vegetable trays or grate raw over a salad.
        Mash cooked kohlrabi, mixed with cooked potato, form into
patties and fry in butter.
        Add sliced or cubed to soups and stir fries.
        For an alternative to coleslaw combine grated raw kohlrabi and
carrots with toasted sesame oil and sesame seeds.  Add spices to taste.
        Use leaves as you would kale.
