kohlrabi ready for stuffing

Posted on January 14, 2015 Updated on September 23, 2016

Finally the kohlrabi is big enough to harvest and my Mum is here to share her cooking experience and family recipe with me. She was so thrilled to see me bringing her fresh roots right from the garden and set to trimming the leaves immediately, flinging bug eaten or withered parts right into the compost. After the quick hosing off and trimming we brought them into the kitchen and finished the preparation. She relished peeling the tender green little kohlrabi’s tossing the puppies slivers as treats. We had just enough for one layer of  the little hollowed out rounds stuffed with meat and rice to make the perfect pot of stuffed kohlrabi, or Töltött karalábé .   It was a wonderful day ending with warm fresh bread right from the oven and a deliciously beautiful bowl of my favourite traditional childhood food.
