🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 4 medium (about 2 lbs total) kohlrabi
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 1.5 teaspoons (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoons (adjust to taste) black pepper

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Peel the kohlrabi and cut it into small cubes (about 1/2-inch pieces). Set aside.

2. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

3. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.

5. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for 2 minutes, until lightly golden.

6. Stir in the paprika, followed by the cubed kohlrabi. Toss the kohlrabi to evenly coat it in the roux mixture.

7. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kohlrabi is tender but not mushy.

8. While the kohlrabi is cooking, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook the butter until it turns brown and nutty, then remove from heat and set aside.

9. Once the kohlrabi is tender, reduce the heat to low and stir in the milk. Allow the mixture to warm through, but do not let it boil.

10. Stir in the browned butter, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

11. Serve the Karalábé Főzelék warm as a side dish or a light main course. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
