How to Make Kohlrabi For The Novice

  1. Toast pecans: In a dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast pecans for 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool completely.
  2. Prepare vegetables: Peel and dice the kohlrabi and carrot into roughly equal-sized pieces.
  3. Boil kohlrabi and carrot: Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the diced kohlrabi and carrot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the kohlrabi is tender but still slightly crisp.
  4. Make the honey pecan topping: While the vegetables cook, whisk together honey, toasted pecans, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chives in a small bowl. Set aside.
  5. Drain vegetables: Drain the cooked kohlrabi and carrot well.
  6. Combine and serve: Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl. Pour the honey pecan mixture over the vegetables and stir gently to combine. Add butter and stir until melted and incorporated. Serve immediately and enjoy!
