We're getting down to the last few weeks of the CSA, but we got a bumper crop this week! Squash, tomatoes, garlic, lettuce, basil, dill, rainbow chard, etc. etc. So we made a gorgeous stir fry! We had made a New Year's Resolution to eat one new food per month, so tonight we used the kohlrabi that we recently bought. Delicious stuff, kohlrabi! I don't know where to find it except for Whole F00ds, but next time I find myself out that way, I'll definitely buy it again.
Our recipe:
a few large leaves of rainbow chard
1-2 Tb. sesame oil
1 hot pepper, cut in half
1/2 large onion, sliced
1/2 large bell pepper, sliced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
3 small kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and julienned (thick)
1 medium summer squash, cut on the bias
shoyu
Wash, then prepare the swiss chard by cutting the leaves off the ribs. Cut the ribs on the bias and roughly chop the leaves.
Heat a large wok with sesame oil. Add the hot pepper, onion, chard ribs, and bell pepper and stir fry until the vegetables start to take on color. Add the garlic, kohlrabi, and summer squash, and cook until everything is tender and slightly browned. Add some shoyu and chard leaves and cook until the chard is wilted.
We meant to put scallions and/or basil for garnish, but it was so tasty, we forgot about decoration and scarfed it down naked. Mmmmmm.
