Crazy for Kholrabi

I am so glad I have the wonderful opportunity of introducing many of you for the first time to Kholrabi.

It is SO delicious.  I just know you will love it! Just try it!

Kholrabi Ham Bake ( from Simply Recipes)

Absolutely delicious!  We had it for dinner, but it could be a breakfast/brunch food!

So lets get this party started.

 Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large-ish pan.

Add 2-3 kholrabi (peeled and diced) to the pan.

Dice 8oz of thick sliced ham.  I bought a ham steak and cut it into bite sized pieces

Her comes the good stuff. CREAM.  Mmmm.

Separate 3 eggs.  We need the yolks for this recipe.  Add 1 cup of heavy cream.

Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

Add 2 tablespoons of fresh, chopped parsley. And season with salt and pepper.

Whisk together.

Your kholrabi has been cooking for about 10 minutes and is lookin' gooooood!

Now it's time to put it all together.  Add half the kholrabi to a 9x9 baking dish.

Add the ham.

Add the rest of the kholrabi and pour on the sauce.  Bake 350 for 30 minutes.

 

This food was accepted by all members of the family.  Even the pickiest, little guy.
