Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 4 Kohlrabi (about 1,4 kg)
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 150 g Carrots
  • 1 small onion
  • 20 g Butter or margarine
  • 1/2 l clear broth (instant)
  • 100 g Corn semolina (polenta)
  • 75 g grated medieval
  • 7-10 Tbsp Gouda cheese
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 1 knife tip Nutmeg
  • 1 knife tip Curry
  • 200 g Whipped cream
  • 1 collar Chives
  • 1-2 TABLESPOONS sauce thickener

Directions

  1. 1

    Clean and wash the kohlrabi and precook in plenty of boiling salted water for 20-25 minutes. Peel and wash the carrots and cut them into small cubes. Peel and chop the onion. Heat the fat in a pot and fry the onions in it until transparent.

  2. 2

    Add carrots and braise briefly. Deglaze with stock, bring to the boil and add the polenta semolina while stirring. Let simmer for about 5 minutes, then let it swell for 5-10 minutes on the switched off plate.

  3. 3

    Fold in the cheese, up to 2 tablespoons, and season the polenta with salt, pepper, nutmeg and curry. Rinse kohlrabi cold and hollow out with a ball cutter or teaspoon. Spread the polenta into the kohlrabi, sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

  4. 4

    Put it in a mold. Chop hollowed pieces of kohlrabi and distribute them in the form. Mix cream with salt and pepper. Wash the chives and, except for a little bit for garnishing, cut into fine rolls.

  5. 5

    Put back one tablespoon of rolls. Add the rest to the cream and pour over the kohlrabi pieces. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for 25-30 minutes. If necessary, add sauce thickener shortly before the end of the cooking time and heat up for 5-10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle with remaining chives and garnish.
