Kohlrabi

Inspired by this recipe; I brought home a seedling plat of Kohlrabi.  Harvest in 50 - 70 days.  According to the Florida Vegetable Gardening Guide; it can be planted in Central Florida in fall and spring.  Oh, and I want some of the "Purple Vienna" variety.

Kohlrabi Ham Bake

Ingredients
                   

• 3 Tbsp butter
• 4 kohlrabi, peeled and diced
• 8 ounces thick ham, diced
• 2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• Pinch of mace (can substitute ground nutmeg)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

               
Method
                   
1 Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large skillet, melt the butter on medium heat. Add the diced kohlrabi and gently cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
2 Beat the egg yolk, and whisk in the heavy cream, flour, mace, salt and pepper until well combined.
3 Place half of the cooked kohlrabi on the bottom of an oven-proof casserole dish. Layer on the diced ham and parsley. Top with the remaining kohlrabi. Pour the sauce ingredients over the kohlrabi and ham.
4 Bake for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Serve immediately.
Serves 4.

So, I planted some today.  Some in the front NE garden; some in the parking pad garden.
