ANOTHER veg box question!!

9 replies

Hopeysgirlwasntbig · 26/02/2008 12:38

I'm sorry, I really thought I knew a lot about food, but since having my veg boxes delivered these WEIRD things have been arriving. This week's 'weird thing' is a kohl rabi.

It looks like an alien!!!

What do I do with it?

I'm sure I'll be posting another question later this week when the new box arrives!

should I roast it?

Don't grate it in a salad like I did, it was really bitter.

I can't remember what you do with them. Have a book somewhere hang on.

(Is it a Riverford box 'cos I'll get one later if it is)

Hopeysgirlwasntbig · 26/02/2008 12:50

No it's a River Nene box. Unless they're one and the same??

It's fascinating the things that arrive each week isn't it!

Yes River Nene is same as Riverford.

this might be useful

Hope there aren't any Jerusalem Artichokes this week - YUK

Hm, I wasn't too impressed with the Artichokes either. What did you do with yours? I roasted mine like potatoes.

I really liked the chard a couple of weeks ago.

I liked my first veg box kohl rabi (last week) peeled (very well, the outside was fibrous) and sliced v. v. thin as a salad veg - a bit like you might treat a radish. Found mine sweet (if a bit cabbagey) rather than bitter tbh.

Soup - but we are so bored of the taste and the farting

system - mine might have been a bit old - I always tend to leave the knobbly tricky stuff until last.
