So many of you have called us asking for ideas of what to do with the Khol Rabi that we thought we would include it in our recipe this week. Some customers have said they made a Kohl Rabi Dauphinoise which was delicious so that is another idea – anyone who has a recipe for this let us know and we will add it to the website!

1 kohl rabi
A couple of small carrots
1 or 2 potatoes
1 onion
1 clove of garlic
a thumb of grated ginger
1 can of tomatoes
Half a 125ml pot of crème frâiche
Water to dilute
Spices to taste (we mixed up 1 tsp turmeric, ½ tsp chili powder, 2 tsp ground coriander seeds and 1 tsp ground cumin seeds)
Firstly sauté the onions, garlic, ginger in some oil for a few minutes. Add in the spices and cook for a couple of minutes. Add all the root veg, diced and throw in the kohl rabi leaves, and any other edible greenery you might have (eg kale, shredded). Sweat the veg for about 10mins and then add the can of tomatoes, the crème frâiche (or you could use yoghurt), and some water. Season to taste. Let this whole mixture simmer for half an hour.

If you have some coriander in any shape or form – add it in, since it has a fantastic flavour.

Serve with basmati rice (any rice really but basmati is Sams favourite). Remember this is just a guide. Really, any root veg can be used, in any quantities. You could also cut down in the quantity or variation of spices if you prefer a milder curry.

Merry Christmas to you.

I used the courgette soup recipe with cream cheese and chives. It sounded a bit odd but was absolutely fantastic! I now have a new best thing to make, eat and serve. It really impressed my guests and was so easy, it felt like cheating!!

However I often find even if a meal looks a bit yak, it still tastes good. Hope you could salvage some of it! Cooking is always something of an experiment – that’s what I like about it – its edge of unpredictability….
