Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Peel the kohlrabi and cut into approximately 1.5 cm thick slices. Peel and roughly dice the potatoes. Peel and dice the shallots. Cook the kohlrabi slices in a little boiling salted water until al dente and drain well. Then coat the kohlrabi slices in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. Fry the slices in heated oil in a large pan until crispy brown on both sides and drain on kitchen paper. Serve with the basil foam. To make the basil foam, sauté the potato and shallot cubes in the walnut oil. Add the stock and 100 ml of the cream and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the basil and puree the mixture, then season well with salt and pepper. Whip the remaining cream until semi-stiff and fold into the basil foam just before serving.
