Instructions
- Prep Your Kohlrabi: Start by washing your kohlrabi thoroughly under cold water. Use a vegetable peeler to remove its tough outer skin. Cut it into small cubes or matchsticks, depending on your preference.
- Sauté the Kohlrabi: In a large skillet, melt about 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the kohlrabi pieces. Sauté them for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth and the juice of half a lemon. Stir well, and let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.
- Season the Dish: Add in a pinch of salt and sugar to balance the flavors. Gently simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the kohlrabi is tender but retains a bit of crunch.
- Incorporate the Creamy Element: Once cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in ½ cup of crème fraîche. Allow it to heat through, stirring gently.
- Add Fresh Herbs: Finally, stir in your lovage, parsley, and pimpinelle. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Plate Your Creation: Move your kohlrabi in Kräutersauce into a serving dish.
