How to cook kohlrabi?

[Deleted]

I grew it in my garden one year, and thought it was a pain in the ass to cook. I used a paring knife to cut off the outer skin, then cut it into cubes, and I think I sauteed it. I thought it tasted just like a turnip, but was more work than a turnip with removing the skin.

The skin has to be removed, right? Is there a better way to prepare kohlrabi? I'm picking items for this week's CSA box and wonder if I should give kohlrabi another chance.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you need to remove the skin. Kholrabi never makes it into the pan at my house. I love to eat it raw!

I peel them, slice them, then boil in salted water until tender. Then I either toss them with butter or top with cheese and bake until the cheese melts.
