I made this recipe before, or something like it and it was delicious. The kohlrabi has a really full flavor, and the carrots add a sweetness to the whole thing. In this recipe I used fresh dill because I had it. In hindsight, I think I would go with a sweeter herb next time. Other than the dill, which is tasty, it's pretty sweet tasting! To be honest, I really didn't want to cook, but I had already peeled and diced the kohlrabi a couple days ago. I didn't want them to not get used, so, I boiled them in water, and threw in some carrots, about 4 small ones diced. Did you notice the background? It was getting later and I wanted natural light, so I took the picture on my ipe river...so I call it. It's my patio with a wood river/bridge. Anyway, here's the recipe.
Makes about 6 servings
6 small kohlrabi, peeled and diced (I used organic, from my CSA, not sure what others taste like.)
4 small carrots, cleaned and diced (I used organic. Makes a huge difference.)
4 Tbsp butter
Dill, fresh, chopped, or maybe try cardamom or nutmeg or something (I used dill, but next time I am going the sweet direction)
Salt and Pepper
I boiled the veggies for 14 minutes, drained, then added the butter, and mashed. You don't have to mash all the way. I sprinkled the dill in, and then garnished on top. Salt and pepper to taste.

So, I had a huge amount of kohlrabis, turns out it filled a whole large yogurt container, I think that's a quart, for your reference. It's probably about 3 to 1 kohlrabi to carrots. Anyway, I also made a kohlrabi fritter, which was really good. Another kind of inspired and seat of the pants recipe.
Looks yummy! Thanks for the wonderful kohlrabi recipe. I featured it on my blog:
