Fried kohlrabi leaves or kohlrabi leaf vegetables

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 1 bunch of kohlrabi leaves from 4 – 5 kohlrabi
• 1 onion(s), diced
• 2 clove(s) garlic, chopped, if desired
• n. B. oil, neutral or olive oil
• salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Wash the kohlrabi leaves (including the small leaves!) and remove the stems and thick veins with a knife. Cut into strips. Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan and fry the diced onion and, if desired, the garlic. Add the kohlrabi leaf strips and fry, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. When the kohlrabi leaves are tender after about 20-25 minutes, season again and serve. They pair well with a plate of homemade wedges and a vegan patty. The amount of kohlrabi leaves used depends on whether it’s a side dish or a main course (like spinach). The amount should be increased accordingly (double or triple), as should the amount of onions. For a side dish for 2 people, I use all the leaves from 4-5 kohlrabi leaves and one onion, as specified in the recipe. I use all the kohlrabi leaves—both the large and the small.
