GERMAN-STYLE STUFFED KOHLRABI



German-Style Stuffed Kohlrabi image

Categories     Pork     Rice     Vegetable     Dinner     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 kohlrabies (about 5 pounds), bulbs peeled, stems discarded, and the leaves trimmed of tough center ribs
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, chopped fine
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 pound ground pork
1/2 cup cooked long-grain rice
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves plus additional for garnish if desired
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 large eggs, beaten lightly
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Trim 1/4 inch from the root end of each kohlrabi bulb so the bulb will stand upright, scoop out the pulp from the opposite end with a small melon-ball cutter or spoon, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells, and chop it fine (there will be about 2 3/4 cups). In a large kettle of boiling salted water cook the kohlrabi leaves for 3 minutes, or until they are just tender, drain them well, and chop them fine (there will be about 2 cups).
  • In a large skillet cook the onion and the garlic in 2 tablespoons of the butter over moderate heat, stirring, until the onion is golden and transfer the mixture to a large bowl. To the bowl add the pork, the rice, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the paprika, the marjoram, the caraway seeds, the tomato paste, the eggs, 1/2 cup of the kohlrabi pulp, 1/4 cup of the chopped kohlrabi leaves, and salt and pepper to taste and combine the mixture well. Divide the mixture among the kohlrabi shells, mounding it, and arrange the shells in a shallow flameproof baking dish just large enough to hold them in one layer. Scatter the remaining pulp and leaves in the dish and pour in the broth. Bring the broth to a boil and simmer the shells, covered partially, for 30 to 50 minutes, or until they can be pierced easily with a sharp knife. Transfer the shells with a slotted spoon to a plate, reserving the cooking mixture in the baking dish, and keep them warm.
  • In a small saucepan cook the flour in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over moderate heat, whisking, for 3 minutes and whisk in the cream. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking, simmer it for 1 minute, and stir it into the reserved cooking mixture, a little at a time. Add salt and pepper to taste and cook the sauce over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is thickened. Return the stuffed shells to the baking dish and garnish them with the additional parsley.

MONIKA MAGEE'S OLD-FASHIONED KOHLRABI WITH CREAM SAUCE



Monika Magee's Old-Fashioned Kohlrabi With Cream Sauce image

Provided by Leslie Land

Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 45m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 to 14 2-inch kohlrabi (the big ones are fibrous), enough to make about 6 cups prepared
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1/3 cup milk
3/4 cup half-and-half, not ultrapasteurized
1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Several scrapes of fresh nutmeg

Steps:

  • Peel the kohlrabi, slice into quarter-inch-thick slices, then cut the slices into matchsticks a quarter-inch broad. Set aside.
  • Make the sauce. Melt the butter in a small, heavy saucepan, stir in the flour and cook over very low heat, stirring often, for 15 minutes.
  • Add the milk in a thin stream, beating with a wire whisk. Raise the heat to low-medium, stir in the half-and-half and cook the sauce, stirring almost constantly, until it smoothly coats a spoon, about 10 minutes. Keep warm over very low heat, stirring from time to time.
  • Put the kohlrabi in a basket steamer over boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until just tender. It should be firm to the bite but not Chinese-crisp.
  • When the kohlrabi is almost done, beat the egg yolk in a heatproof bowl, beat in a bit of the warm sauce and then add the yolk mixture to the saucepan. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is very thick and hot, but do not let it boil.
  • Season the sauce with salt to taste and just enough nutmeg to give a toasty flavor without being too assertive. Remove the basket from the steamer and toss the contents gently until the surfaces are completely dry, then combine the kohlrabi with the sauce and serve at once.

4 medium (blank)s kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and cubed

  • Place the butter into the same saucepan, and melt over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and golden brown. Gradually whisk the milk and reserved cooking water from the kohlrabi into the flour mixture, stirring until thick and smooth. Stir in the cream, 1 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, white pepper, and parsley until well blended. Continue whisking until sauce thickens, then cook 10 minutes more.
