Peel and cut kohlrabi into 1/2 inch dice and add to the greens. 6. Put oil in a wok over medium heat. 7. Add cumin and mustard seeds and stir a few seconds until mustard seeds begin to pop. 8. Add garlic and jalapeno and stir a minute or two until garlic turns light golden. 9. Add diced kohlrabi, greens, stock, and salt and black pepper to taste. 10. Toss, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. 11. Cook, tossing once or twice, about 20 to 25 minutes or until kohlrabi is tender. 12. Add a bit more liquid if needed. |
