Kohlrabi Fritters

Had a huge kohlrabi from our Seton Harvest share last week.  Decided to try fritters, and very glad I did.  They were very tasty - mild and slightly nutty.  I used a kohlrabi fritter recipe from http://localfoods.about.com/od/chipsfriedsomebaked/r/Kohlrabi-Fritters.htm.  I used our food processor to shred the kohlrabi.  

INGREDIENTS

Shredded/grated kohlrabi (one large or a couple of small bulbs)

1 or two eggs, beaten

2-4 Tbsp flour

Salt 

Extra virgin olive oil

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

After grating or shredding the kohlrabi, remove as much moisture as possible by wrapping in clean dish towels and/or paper towels, and squeezing.  Mix kohlrabi, beaten egg(s), flour, and salt.  Heat oil (generous amount - about 1/4" deep) in large skillet.  When oil is hot, put about 4 large spoons of kohlrabi mixture into pan and flatten some with spoon.  Cook 3-6 minutes per side (or until golden brown).  Remove to plate with lots of paper towels.  Repeat until all batter is used (probably 8-16 fritters total).  Serve immediately.

These can be eaten as is, or topped with sour cream, salsa, or chutney.
