I had one item from my CSA box last week that I hadn’t done anything with – the Kohlrabi! I decided I would make Kohlrabi hashbrowns!
Once I peeled it, I ended up shredding it in my food processor – I got 20 ounces of shredded Kolhrabi.
- 20 ounce kohlrabi
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat bread crumbs
- salt and pepper to taste
I Pam fried it with 1 tablespoon olive oil – this whole recipe is only 336 calories, 10 fat, 46 carbs, 22 fiber! and 23 protein. So each pancake is 48 calories, 1.4 fat, 6.5 carbs, 3.1 fiber and 3.2 protein. Tony spit his bite out! Hannah and I liked them though! 😀
Tony bought this bread and I really like it – it kind of has a slightly sweet flavor – maybe because of the sunflowers?
My plate: 1 slice of three grain bread with a shmear of butter, 1 kohlrabi cake, 1 fried egg and 1 kiwi – yum!
Breakfast comes in at 288 calories, 10 fat, 14 protein, 37 carbs and 10 fiber! 😀
I am off to clean the kitchen – come back to see what I got in my weekly CSA box!
I don’t know if I’ve ever had kohlrabi! Now I’m wondering if I have… but you’ve definitely inspired me to try it out!
I love kohlrabi. My dad intro’d it to me. He likes to dip it in salt or seasoned salt (raw).
Peeled, the kohlrabi looked like a rock *giggle* – I am always amazed at what you come up with for these strange foods!
wow!! I never heard of making hash browns in kohlrabi….how freaking genius! Is it as good as the real one?
Sophia – while it looks like a potato pancake, it does not taste like one – very rooty. I didn’t cook the kohlrabi before hand, so it had a very “raw” taste to it – I am going to try it again this week and see if that changes the flavor – Hannah and I still like this version though – although I did add Tabasco to mine! 😀
I’ve never even heard of that before! Very cool!
Nice pics Biz! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that vegetable before, but it looks good as a hash brown!
