@@JudiintheKitchen I used a little bit of chicken broth instead of the water and it added some great flavor. I also cut up a whole Kohlrabi and roasted it and ate both...yum!! Love your channel and getting to try all the new veggies I have never tried before.
@@Bekind1969 Thanks for sharing, Lori! Sounds like you made a really delish version of kohlrabi and greens! Yes, broth instead of water DOES make it more flavorful! GREAT thinking! I'm glad you enjoyed the veg :)
@@JudiintheKitchen These are absolutely delicious! That lemon squeeze is amazing! On my greens from now on i am gonna add that lemon! Thank you for this delicious recipe!
@@mrsaveabuck5969 Wonderful! I'm glad you enjoyed the greens, AND learned the lemon trick. Yes...it works on any greens in helping to remove any remaining bitterness in them. So glad it worked for you!! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks. I'm thinking of sauteing mine with leftover radish leaves some time. I particularly loved the music in the background. Such an interesting choice.
That would work! I mix greens all the time and the flavors blend into one. Yummy! Interesting that you commented about background music. If you hear any background music on my videos, it's actually my husband practicing his flute. He's a professional musician/educator, and practices on a very regular basis. His practicing is in some of my videos :) Thanks for watching and sharing :)
Thank you for this video.. just picked up some beautiful red kohlrabi at our local store in Germany.. it has beautiful greens on them and was looking for how to cook them ! This will be wonderful tonight with dinner... definitely will be adding the lemon!
Hi Karin! Thank YOU for commenting and sharing your experience! I hope you enjoy the greens. It's awesome to know I'm reaching someone in Germany!! WOW. Take care :)
Hi Sonali Roy! Thanks for watching and commenting! The greens cooked up like any other deep leafy green and tasted pretty much like others too. So, if you like kale, collards or turnip greens, you would likely enjoy the kohlrabi greens too. Happy cooking :)
That's the way to live to 100 ! Brassica greens are absolutely delicious and very healthy (brussels sprouts leaves are the best in my opinion). What a great video - loved it...
Here in sri lanka even the leaves of red beets and white radish/daikon are cooked same way as kohlrabi leaves. Try it once nearly same way as above, but with one added finely chopped shalott, some chiliflakes and instead of the water use organic vegetable or chicken stock - also very delicious!
@@JudiintheKitchen I picked the three largest and washed the greens and put in the fridge. I will eat today. I cubed the round part and froze for later.
I didn't know this about the leaves either. We always ate the bulb, either raw or in Vegetable Soups(its just Vegetables simmered in Broth) and then we not have allot kohlrabi greens. But the way you use here, is exactly like the Chinese cook cabbage. Just cut it into big pieces, wash it. Then in a wok add oil, mix in salt, add some garlic slices(Hong Kong people add a slice ginger also), throw in the cabbage pieces and stir them around so the oil/salt mixture covers the cabbage. Add water and put a wok lid on, and cook at high heat about 4-6 minutes depending on how much cabbage you have/how soft you want it. We eat that rather crisp, half raw here. Nice video, i might go and buy me enough organic kohlrabi to try this here!
Thanks for watching, commenting and sharing! I DO appreciate that! The kohlrabi greens were fine. They tasted pretty much like any other green cooked in that manner, so I see no reason to throw them away. They're yet another leafy green to choose from :)
Yes Lee! Kohlrabi greens are VERY much like collard greens, mustard greens, kale, and any other type of deep leafy green. They can be cooked in the same way you cook your favorite deep leafy greens. Also, they can all be mixed. I've cooked a blend of kohlrabi greens, kale, broccoli greens (leaves), and cauliflower greens (leaves) and it was delish! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
I like Broccoli and Polk Salad greens! I have heard one is supposed to "blanch" Polk Salad greens! But I never blanch my broccoli! Do I need to blanch the Polk Salad? Greens? A lot of stuff I am still learning! I appreciate these videos! THANKS! 😊
I believe you're referring to pokeweed leaves. I've never eaten them, but from what I understand, they are toxic when eaten raw. They must be cooked to remove the toxins. Please DO look them up on the Internet to get directions on how much to cook them to make them safe to eat. I understand you can make a salad with them, but they are actually cooked in the process. Be careful with pokeweed leaves! Always cooked, never raw!
@@JudiintheKitchen Thank You! I remember them saying either that they would taste bad, or they were bad for you, unless they were branch! One of those....I take that to mean that you boil them, drain the waer and boil again! I think that is right, but I will loo it up! There are people who do the weed cookin on You Tube! I will check! 😊👍
Hi Tyrone! Thanks for watching and asking. Nerve pain can be caused by a number of things, so it's impossible for me to say if specifically kohlrabi leaves would help alleviate your problem. However, a diet full of unadulterated fruits and vegetables can work wonders for one's health, so it certainly shouldn't hurt to boost your intake of such foods. However, I can't help but doubt that they would be the single cure-all for your nerve pain. There's more to it than that. A visit with your personal health care provider may be called for here. I hope this helps! Best wishes to you and yours :)
YES...they were tough like kale. Not bitter to me, but they might be to you. I did not find them to be bitter when cooked, but remember I did top them with lemon juice, which would also degrade any bitterness. That's a common trick to add to most deep leafy greens...add some type of acid to them at the end of cooking time (lemon juice or lime juice or even vinegar). It adds a slight "edge" to the flavor and takes away any bitterness. Just don't add too much (especially vinegar) and stir to mix it throughout the greens before eating (ESPECIALLY important if you're adding vinegar...so you don't get a taste of "vinegar greens"). Thanks for asking...I'm happy to help if I can!

Oh this is new to me. We don't eat leaves of kohlrabi, Cabbage, cauliflower etc... Next time be careful to choose eat organic greens as industry grown vegetables have too much harmful pesticides

You can add rhubarb, it gives some great taste, instead of lemon juice
Excellent suggestion! Thanks for watching and sharing your tip :)
