Kohlrabi without Greens

4 servings

Ingredients

• Kohlrabi (as needed)
• Salted water (a little)
• Flour (a little)
• 1.5 cup Cream or milk
• Salt (a little)
• Pepper (pinch)

Instructions

1. This recipe is particularly suitable for mature, older, but not yet woody kohlrabi, whose greens are too strong and tough.
2. Peel the kohlrabi, slice them, cook in salted water for about 5 minutes, and drain.
3. Prepare a light roux, add 1-2 cups of cream or good milk, seasoned with salt, and cook the kohlrabi until tender.
4. Finally, season with a pinch of pepper.
