How to Make Cheesy Kohlrabi

  1. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 lb kohlrabi, peeled and cubed, and 1 tsp salt. Return to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until kohlrabi is tender.
  3. Drain the kohlrabi, reserving any cooking liquid.
  4. Meanwhile, in a 3-quart saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tbsp butter. Whisk in 4 tbsp all-purpose flour until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk in 2 cups undiluted chicken broth, cooking and stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Add a pinch of freshly ground nutmeg for an extra layer of flavor.
  7. Add the cooked kohlrabi to the cheese sauce. Stir gently to coat and heat through (about 2-3 minutes).
  8. Season with 1/4 tsp allspice. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
