Kohlrabi Recipe

Instructions

1. This vegetable seems to be a variety of the cabbage, but the nutritive matter, instead of being stored up in the leaves or the flowers, is collected in the stem, which forms a turnip-like enlargement just above the ground.
2. It should be used when it has a diameter of not more than 2 or 3 inches; for when allowed to grow large, it becomes tough and fibrous.
3. Wash the vegetable, pare, and cut in thin slices.
4. Add to slightly salted boiling water, and boil until tender, having the cover drawn to one side of the stewpan so as to allow the steam to escape.
5. Drain, mash and season with a little rich cream or vegetable butter.
