Ingredients
  

  • 2 heads kohlrabi with the leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 sweet onion chopped
  • 6 cups Vegetable Stock
  • 1.5 cups arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese grated, optional but recommended!

Instructions
 

  • Clean the kohlrabi: Wash, remove the leaves, roughly chop them, and set aside. Begin by peeling the bulb with your hards and then use a vegetable peeler to remove the rest of the outer layer from the root. Dice the root of the kohlrabi.
  • In a medium pot, heat the vegetable stock bring to a simmer with the lid on. Turn to low heat.
  • In a medium pan, add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sauce the greens for 8-10 minutes on low with a pinch of salt.
  • In a large pot, add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sauce the garlic, onions, and kohlrabi root for 10 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the arborio rice and sauté for an additional 5 minutes until rice begins to brown slightly. Stir constantly so the rice doesn’t burn. Add the white wine to the mix, stir, and cook for another 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper.
  • Remove the greens from the pan and add them to the kohlrabi rice.
  • Add one ladleful of vegetable stock at a time to the kohlrabi rice (about half cup) stirring the rice slowly. Once the stock has been absorbed add another ladleful, stirring constantly. Repeat for about 45-60 minutes until rice has absorbed all the stock and becomes thick and creamy.
  • Once rice is tender, add the lemon juice and stir in the parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
