SIDE NOTES:
~ I had never heard of kohlrabi until I started receiving it a few years ago from our CSA farm. It’s an interesting looking vegetable! The skin is bright purple, but after you peel it, it looks like a white potato. To me, it has a flavor reminiscent of cauliflower.

~ As shown below, the leaves can be prepared as you would any greens. They were great sauteed w/ garlic, olive oil, salt & pepper & tossed with whole grain orzo pasta (as shown above). If you use the purple stems, make sure you put them in the pan first as it will take longer for that part to become tender enough to chew. Otherwise, just discard the stems & only use the green part.
