USES & COOKING SUGGESTIONS
When winter storage cabbage is running out, imagine eating fresh kohlrabi coleslaw, delicious steamed kohlrabi mashed like potatoes with butter, nutmeg and salt, or use as a healthy and flavorful substitute for potatoes in potato salad, gratin, etc.! And yet we couldn’t help sharing the recipe for Liz DellaCroce’s Grilled Cheese with Apples, Dijon and Kohlrabi:
- 8 slices whole grain bread
- 4 tbs dijon mustard
- 8 slices sharp cheddar deli style
- 1 apple thinly sliced
- 1/2 kohlrabi stems removed thinly sliced
- softened butter or olive oil spread
- Lay out bread slices side-by-side on a work surface and spread half of the slices with a tablespoon of mustard each.
- Top all 8 pieces of bread with a slice sharp cheddar.
- Next, add a few slices of apple and kohlrabi to half of the pieces.
- Take the slices with cheese only and place on top of the apple pieces.
- Butter both sides of the bread to your liking and grill in batches with a panini press.
- Once browned, remove from press and serve.
- Alternatively, cook on a non-stick pan over medium heat until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side.)
