What in the heck is this thing?

[juju]

Picked up my farm share and there was a kohlrabi in it...after I figured out what it was I realized I have no idea what to do with it.

So, I am looking for some ideas, how do you prepare your kohlrabi?

shred it and use it along with sweet potato in a hash

I have a friend loves to eat them raw

we tend to use them where we would previously have used white potatoes

I grew up eating them raw, sliced thin. A friend of mine used to saute them in butter with lovage.

I eat it raw, it is delicious, especially young one.

Husband eats them raw, I slice them and fry them in butter, salt & pepper.

I have some in my fridge right now from the farmers market as well It is pretty tasty. Kohlrabi is in the broccoli/cauliflower/cabbage family (Brassicaceae), so it has that flavor, but the texture is like a carrot. I usually peel, slice or dice and saute or steam until soft. You could also add it to soups/stews.
