Roasted Kohlrabi With Savory Garlic Sauce

Ingredients:

• Kohlrabi

• Olive oil

• 1 large garlic clove, thinly sliced

• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

• 1 tablespoons water

   

Instructions:

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Remove kohlrabi leaves from bulb, and thinly slice leaves to equal 1 packed cup; set aside. (Reserve remaining greens for another use.) Peel kohlrabi bulbs, and cut into small wedges. Toss together kohlrabi wedges and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large bowl. Place wedges in hot skillet, and cook, undisturbed, until brown around edges, about 6 minutes.

Step 2

Transfer skillet to preheated oven, and roast wedges, stirring occasionally, until tender when pierced with tip of a knife, 12 to 15 minutes. Place kohlrabi wedges in a large bowl.

Step 3

While kohlrabi cooks, heat extra-virgin olive oil in a small skillet over low. Add anchovies, garlic, and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until anchovies are sizzling and garlic is tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer anchovy mixture to a mini food processor. Add lemon juice and white wine vinegar to anchovy mixture, and process until blended, about 10 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl, and stir in parsley.

Step 4

Add sliced kohlrabi greens and water to skillet over medium. Cook, stirring constantly, until greens are wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer greens to bowl with wedges, and toss with bagna cauda sauce. Serve immediately.
