Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Knollen Kohlrabi
- 1 EL Butter oder Alsan (1 Tablespoon Butter or Plant-Based Alternative)
- 2 – 3 EL Mehl (2 – 3 Tablespoons Flour)
- 250 ml Milch oder Pflanzliche Milch (250 ml Milk or Plant-Based Milk)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Muskatnuss (Nutmeg) to taste
- Petersilie (Parsley) for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the kohlrabi by peeling it with a sharp knife to reveal the crisp, white flesh.
- Chop the kohlrabi into cubes or matchsticks. In a pot, bring water to boil, add a pinch of salt, and toss in your kohlrabi. Cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Make the sauce by melting the butter (or Alsan) in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the flour until you have a smooth paste. Cook for about a minute.
- Whisk in the milk slowly while continuously stirring until the sauce thickens.
- Season your sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir well to incorporate.
- Combine the tender kohlrabi with the sauce in the pot and gently coat them.
Notes
For a cheesy spin, add shredded cheese before serving. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in more milk. Best served fresh with crispy bread or fluffy rice.
