Kohlrabi is an interesting little vegetable, and a bit uncommon where I live. Sort of brocolli/cabbage/turnips combined,
with a taste that compares to these vegetables too.
I hadn't thought of grilling it, but I think you've suggested a great way to eat kohlrabi (it can be one of those vegetables that one 'does not know what to do with'!). Your recipe is extremely simple (and a lot of words!), but would give someone new to cooking confidence they could follow all the steps. Thanks for re-introducing me to kohlrabi, I'll try grilling it next time I find it!
