One thing I found said...

Kohl rabi - nice easy recipe is to peel it and cut into sugarlump sized cubes, coat in olive oil add some whole garlic cloves and cook in oven for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice. Season and add some grated parmesan. Serve as a roast veg with whatever you want.

and there's this

Cook it like turnip or here's a recipe from one of my German Cookery books.

1 large or 2 smaller kohlrabi, peeled
25g (1oz) butter
1 tablespoon clear honey
2 tablespoons orange juice
a good pinch of ground cinnamon
a good pinch of ground allspice
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cut the kohlrabi into thick slices then par boil for 5 mins in boiling salted water. Drain in a colander, season and preheat oven to gas 4/180c/350f.

Put the remaining ingredients in the same pan and heat until melted and runny.

Toss in the blanched kohlrabi then tip into a shallow oven proof dish. Bake for 20 - 25 mins, spooning the glaze over the veg. as they bake so they take on a delicious honey brown glaze. Serve hot. Good with pork or lamb.

As Rita knows Kohlrabi is eaten in Germany as often the English eat Carrots.

So many different ways of doing it and I saw on the web-sites that they had it stuffed - we do it here with mince of any description perhaps with garlic and onion.

Mostly it is cut into bite sized pieces and boiled with salt and covered in a creamy white sauce or a mustard sauce, cheese sauce etc.

It is marvellous in soups or as a roasted veg - I didn't know it until I came here and I have always treated it as I would carrots - what you can do with the carrots, you can with the more or less do with Kohlrabi.

There are sorts that grow to an enormous size - well the first thing that I learnt here was the bigger they are the woodier they can be.

The young plants as you will know are a firm favourite with Slugs. My FIL gave up growing them because of that.

Thanks very much all of you, I've got enough to try a few of them out and still seeds to sow if I like them .....
