Kohlrabi Fritters
A great way to introduce kohlrabi to you and your family. This savory dish is great as the main dish or a delicious side. Add in other vegetables into the mix or keep it simple with only kohlrabi. High nutrients and tastes great!
1 medium to large size kohlrabi
1 red or yellow onion
1/2 cup all purpose flour (or gluten free all purpose or whole wheat)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Oil for frying ( use something with a high smoke point )
Your favorite herbs
Using a food processor with a grating disk or hand cheese grater with the larger grate, grate the kohlrabi and onion. You’ll need 3 cups, so if your kohlrabi is on the small side add more onion or another vegetable. If your kohlrabi is on the larger side, reduce the amount of onion. Wrap the kohlrabi in a clean dish towel and squeeze as much water out as you can. Transfer the kohlrabi to a mixing bowl, and combine with remaining ingredients.
Have fun, use whatever herbs you like to add a bit of seasoning. Some favorite combinations we have are:
- Oregano, sage, thyme and garlic.
- Chili powder, cumin, paprika and cilantro.
- Ginger, cumin, cinnamon and cloves.
- Chives, parsley and basil.
Heat a thin layer of oil over medium high heat in a cast iron skillet. Pan-fry kohlrabi in 1/4 cup scoops, about 2 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels. you can keep them warm in a low oven after draining. (200 degrees)
