What goes with Kohlrabi?
Kohlrabi supplies dense, juicy flesh from a swollen stem above the ground. Beneath the green or purple skin, the pale interior has a clean snap, gentle sweetness and a mild radish-like edge. The outer layers and stem base can remain stringy after cooking, so the useful yield depends on thorough peeling rather than the size of the whole vegetable.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Kohlrabi?
Match the cut to the partner: apple needs similarly fine, crisp pieces, while potato benefits from thin layers that soften at a comparable rate. Lemon and fresh herbs sharpen the juicy flesh; cream cushions its peppery finish. Cured meat or cooked fish works best against a substantial portion of kohlrabi with enough exposed surface to share their juices.
