Our box this week featured purple kohlrabi. To be honest, neither of us had ever cooked with or even tried kohlrabi, but after a little research and tasting, we realized it is from the same family as cabbage and brussels sprouts, but has the taste more of a broccoli stem, but crisper. We also got red potatoes and carrots in our box this week. After looking at everything, we got the idea to create fritters to serve for a brunch dish.

You simply grate all of the veggies (or you can speed this process up by using a food processor) with a box grater, add in a bit of flour to reduce the moisture, and add an egg to help bind the ingredients together. Think of them as elevated, healthier hash browns!

We chose to serve them with a fried egg, sliced avocado, cilantro, and hot sauce for the perfect brunch, but you could also serve these as an appetizer or with a yogurt dipping sauce for a meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 Purple Kohlrabi Bulb, peeled
• 4 Small Red Potatoes
• 4 Baby Carrots
• 1 Egg
• 1/4 cup All-Purple Flour
• 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil or Grapeseed Oil

Instructions:

1. Using a box grater, coarsely grate the potatoes, carrots, and kohlrabi. You should have about 4 cups of root vegetables total. (Can also be done with a food processor if you have one)
2. Using cheesecloth or paper towels, squeeze out any excess water from the veggies.
3. Add 1/4 cup of flour and seasonings and mix using a rubber spatula.
4. Whisk the egg and add into the vegetable mixture. Set aside.
5. Heat up the oil in a large skillet on low-medium heat.
6. Form 4 round patties with the vegetable mixture. Be sure to flatten them out slightly so they cook evenly. Once pan is hot, carefully add in the patties. Press down slightly with spatula.
7. Cook about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
8. Serve with fried eggs, avocado, and your favorite hot sauce for a delicious brunch!
