Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium pot, bring the heavy cream to a gentle boil. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the sliced kohlrabi to the boiling cream. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the kohlrabi is tender. (20 minutes)

03

Step

Carefully remove the cooked kohlrabi from the sauce and place it in a separate bowl to keep warm.

04

Step

Increase the heat under the pot and cook the lemon-cream sauce until it thickens slightly. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Season the thickened sauce with lemon zest, lemon juice, a pinch of sugar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Stir well to combine the flavors.

06

Step

Incorporate the chopped fresh parsley into the sauce, reserving a small amount for garnish.

07

Step

Gently fold the cooked kohlrabi back into the lemon-cream sauce, ensuring each slice is well coated.

08

Step

Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining fresh parsley. Enjoy the creamy, lemony goodness!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the kohlrabi slices in butter before adding them to the cream sauce.
If using kohlrabi leaves, chop them finely and stir them into the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking for a fresh, herbaceous note.
Adjust the amount of lemon zest and juice to suit your preference for tartness. A little Dijon mustard can also add depth.
Serve as a side dish with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or as part of a vegetarian feast.

    I didn't have heavy cream, so I used half-and-half. It worked well, but wasn't as rich.
