Cooking with Chef Shellie and your Grant Farm CSA Share - Vol. 6 - PICKLED KOHLRABI

This web cooking series features Chef Shellie of Kitchen Cue preparing delicious recipes using the fresh organic food from your local Grant Family Farm CSA share.

1¾ c. red wine vinegar
2 c. water
2 T. honey
2 T. kosher salt
1 T. finely chopped fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, finely minced
¼ t. crushed red pepper flakes
2 pounds kohlrabi
2 star anise

Wash and dry two quart jars. Set aside.

Combine vinegar, water, honey, salt, ginger, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil and take off heat. Let infuse while you prepare the kohlrabi.

Clean, trim and peel kohlrabi bulbs. Using a mandoline or a food processor, shred kohlrabi into thin sticks. Divide the shreds evenly between the two jars, leaving a 1” headspace, and place a star anise in each jar.

Bring brine to boil and carefully pour over the kohlrabi. Secure lids and rings on jars and let sit until cool. When jars have become cool to the touch, place in refrigerator. Enjoy with salads, on sandwiches or as a flavorful accompaniment to meat dishes.

Note about cleaning jars: Jars do not need to be sterilized in a boiling water bath as is done for canning recipes that are stored at room temperature. These pickles are high in acid and will be stored in the refrigerator, which drastically limits bacteria growth. Clean and washing jars in hot soapy water.
