Kohlrabi Fries

Hi everyone! It's week 3 of BaltimOrganic CSA! I choose this recipe using the kohlrabi from our bag this week because, personally, before I met Jon and joined the CSA I had no idea what kohlrabi was. If that's the boat you are in, this is something fun you can try. I got the idea from an article and recipes on nutrition in the NY Times. I'm not suggesting it's the healthiest option for this vegetable but it's tasty.  As for the other veggies we are getting this week... as the amazing yoga guru and my teacher Sri Dharma Mittra says..."use your intelligence."  :-)

What you'll use from your bag:

-Kohlrabhi

What else you'll need: 

- 1-2 tbls Flour (I use chickpea or all purpose gluten free but you can also use regular wheat flour)
- 2-3 tbls oil (canola or vegetable)
- Spices (try old bay or curry powder with cumin and chili powder)

First, Prepare:

-Peel and cut kohlrabi into slices about 1/2 inch thick (like a french fry)
-Place flour and a touch of seasoning in a bowl
-Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat

Next, coat and cook:

-Lightly coat the kohlrabi stripes in the flour
-Place the kohlrabi stripes in the hot oil, not overcrowding them
-Fry until browned- about 2-3 minutes on each side

Finally, season and serve:

-Remove from skillet when browned and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil
-Immediately season with your choice of spices

Enjoy!
