Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb kohlrabi grated raw
  • 1 small onion grated
  • 1 Juice of lime
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup ricotta
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg ground or freshly grated
  • 1/2 tsp ginger grated fresh
  • 1 small garlic finely chopped
  • olive oil for frying
  • 3.5 oz mango frozen or fresh
  • 1 Juice and zest of lime
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp honey

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Skillet
  • Saucepan
  • Frying pan
  • Grater
  • Chef's Knife
  • Whisk
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Combine the kohlrabi with the onion, salt, and lime juice. Allow to sit for 20 minutes, then squeeze out any excess liquid.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic, ginger, pepper, and ricotta.
  3. Add the mix to the kohlrabi mixture. Combine well and sprinkle in the flour. Fold to incorporate.
  4. Form palm-sized patties.
  5. In a skillet, heat up about 2 teaspoons of olive oil and cook the fritters for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through.
  6. Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer for about 15 minutes or until soft. If you are using fresh mango, you might need to add about ΒΌ cup (60 ml) of water. Using a stand or hand mixer, blend until smooth.

Notes

  • Tip: You could swap half of the kohlrabi with grated celery root. This is another flavorful fall vegetable that we tend to forget, and it really pairs beautifully with kohlrabi.
