Most Beautiful Vegetable

Surely a contender for most beautiful vegetable. bought this kohlrabi from Udo Lange from his farm stall on Brighton Sq. in Ternure.

Kohlrabi is a brassica and related to the cabbage.and turnip. It tastes of mild sweet turnip and is quite tender. I simply sautéed it in a little butter and olive oil, a splash of white wine and then covered it for five minutes. I then used it as a base for a risotto with left over pork belly and a mix of chicken and pork stock (from the freezer). I finished the dish with white wine, lemon balm and orgegano.
