yummm! Last Shabbos I thinly sliced it and seasoned with a tiny bit of olive oil, lots of fresh squeezed lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. It was delish Smile

My mother puts them in her chicken soup

I had the same problem a few weeks ago - there's a great recipe for a salad in Enlitened Jewish Cooking - do you have it? Otherwise I'll try and copy it later.

Shred kolhrabi and carrots. Add a bit of fresh lemon juice, canola oil, salt and splenda to taste.

I love this salad. Extremely refreshing.

So many ideas! Thanks a lot. I do the coleslaw thing - that's why I wanted it in the first place. I usuakky put only a little in soups. Doesn't it give a strong taste?
I will try the various salads and seasonongs suggested.
I really appreciate this.

I love kohlrabi in fried rice. also, the nytimes recipes for health column had a few different kohlrabi recipes a couple of weeks ago that looked interesting.

We cut them up and eat them for a snack sometimes. You can add it to vegetable soup or in a vegetable kugal or sautes vegetables....

After peeling and slicing them into 1/4 inch thickness, bread them (flour, egg, seasoned breadcrumbs), spray the pan and the breaded slices and bake uncovered at 350 for an hour.

So far I: put some in soup, made cole slaw, cut into sticks with peppers and carrots and dressed it with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Delicious! Now I may try breading it. It's a good way to use up some bread crumbs!
Thanks everyone.

Fennel, Carrot & Kohlrabi Salad. Fennel goes great with kohlrabi.
