Hungarian Pork Stew with Kohlrabi Noodles
This mouthwatering pork stew is typically served with tiny little dumplings called spaetzle, made of flour and eggs. Our version uses spiralized kohlrabi, afavorite European vegetable, giving it a hearty, gluten-free twist.
Tips
You can substitute ground caraway seeds for whole, but reduce the amount to 1tsp (5mL).
Choose kohlrabi that feel heavy for their size. Lighter kohlrabi are over-ripened, can be woody inside and will not be as crisp andsweet.
Kohlrabi leaves can also be eaten. They are delightful mixed inwith other greens orseasoned and boiled asa side dish.
