If you know kohlrabi mainly as a salad or side dish or you simply nibble it plain and raw, then it's about time to change that. The preparation of this kohlrabi gratin is really easy, but of course you first have to peel the kohlrabi and then cut it into thin slices. I boiled them in a pot of salted water for a few minutes before layering them like a roof tile into a greased casserole and baked at very hight temperature for 15 minutes. You can also bake them without boiling them first, but then you need to cook them longer with lower oven temperature.

- Preheat the oven to 220C/430F. Grease a casserole dish with butter. Set aside.
- Peel the kohlrabis, cut into 1-2mm thin slices and cook in a pot of boiling salted water for 5 minutes, remove and drain.
- Arrange the kohlrabi slices in layers into the prepared baking dish.
- Bring the cream to a gentle simmer. Add the chopped Gorgonzola and melt while stirring. Season the sauce with freshly milled pepper, nutmeg and lemon juice.
- Scatter the thyme leaves on top of the kohlrabi slices. Pour over the sauce and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley leaves.

ReplyDeleteWOW, that looks so darn good!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds delicious! I have only recently started eating (steamed) kohlrabi and love it. Would give your recipe a try.
ReplyDeleteRemember loving kohlrabi as a child back in Europe - it was probably my favourite vegetable. Here Down Under I have only rarely seen it at the supermarkets - or perhaps I have not known where to look :) ! Like the use of the gorgonzola and, of course, the thyme .
ReplyDeleteI really want to try this, but may have to substitute potatoes for kohlrabi which we don't often get here.
