Poster's Notes: I have never had this before. But the other night my beloved husband went out to his farm - er - garden and when he came in with our salad ingredients, he plopped down as well a big red thing that vaguely resembles a human heart. It turns out to be a kohlrabi. I've been trying to find a use for it for almost a week now, so I'm pleased to find this recipe in the cookbook.
