Thanks for keeping up the good veggie eating. This broccoli is your reward for sticking
with us through this long late season.
Hope you enjoy it too. It doesn’t
need much cooking. One of the best
things we’ve ever done with our broccoli is to mix it raw in a simple carrot
salad.
Here’s the deal – we will be coming to
town next week and will be glad to bring another basket of veggies in for
anyone who wants it. After that, we’re
taking a few weeks off for holidays, and it could very well be that the gardens
will be dormant. We’ll just see how the
peculiarities of this particular winter play out.
Simple
Sauteed Kohlrabi
2 medium kohlrabi bulbs, grated 1 tsp salt ¼
cup butter or light oil
1 medium diced onion 1 clove garlic 2
Tbsp fresh thyme, chives, or sage
1) Mix the kohlrabi and
salt in a colander and let stand for 30 minutes to drain.
2) Melt the butter in a
medium skillet over medium heat. Add the
onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute more.
3) Stir in the
kohlrabi. Reduce the heat to low, cover,
and cook for 10 minutes.
4) Increase the heat to
medium, uncover the skillet, and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh
herbs. Let stand for a couple minutes to
let the flavors develop.
