How to pickle carrots and kohlrabi
I’ve had a life long love affair with carrots, but my relationship with kohlrabi only goes back 13 years. My first taste of kohlrabi was either at Mordoch, a small Kurdish lunch joint near Machane Yehuda, Jerusalem’s open air market or possibly at the now defunct Korea House in Jerusalem’s city center. What was this small white incredibly crunchy vegetable before me? Is it a radish? Can’t be, it tastes sort of like cabbage. I asked what it was and was told kohlrabi. I assumed that kohlrabi was a Hebrew word since it sounded silly and had never heard of it. I was further confused when I couldn’t find it in my English-Hebrew dictionary. I don’t recall how I finally figured everything out but soon after kohlrabi became a household winter staple.
