Kohlrabi is a cruciferous vegetable, but Tel Aviv chef Asaf Doktor’s roasted version tastes inexplicably—yet deliciously—like an unctuous artichoke heart. Slideshow: More Roasted Vegetable Recipes
I roasted some lovely, organic, farmer's market kohlrabi last night but did not make the entire recipe. I know it isn't fair to review a recipe when it wasn't followed, but I thought the description was a little misleading. I read "artichoke" and I was expecting a mild artichoke taste. Instead, it was like a super concentrated mushy cabbage core, and not in a good way. I am sure with all the other ingredients the dish has a completely different profile, but word of warning that roasted kohlrabi by themselves do not taste like artichoke hearts! I have to give a rating and it is not fair to give a low rating because I didn't make the recipe as written, so I am giving 5 stars but I would not make this again.
First ate this at Asaf Doktor’s Tel Aviv restaurant. Original and delicious! A real treat.
Earthy, mildly sweet, tang from the feta, heat from the pepper, nutty....super yummy!
