Unlocking Kohlrabi

Kohlrabi only looks otherworldly. Its outward appearance is just that: an apparition. It is really a soft stem whose spiky offshoots are merely the ribs of leaves, easily removed with a paring knife. Then kohlrabi is as easy to peel as an apple, revealing its snowy white interior. Sliced, kohlrabi’s crunchier than potato chips and just as great to dip.
