Kohlrabi Fritters From The Wellness Mama Cookbook

From The Wellness Mama Cookbook: "Kohlrabi is a type of cabbage with a thick center that holds up well in cooked dishes. I love to add it to soups, but these fritters are a kid favorite at our house, especially when topped with avocado-dill sauce. Give this unusual and delicious vegetable a try!"

Equipment

food processor
sharp knife
box grater
large bowl
large spoon
large skillet

Ingredients

1 ripe avocado
½ cup Greek yogurt
1 organic lemon (Zest and juice)
¼ cup fresh dill (finely minced)
1 tsp garlic powder
2 large kohlrabi bulbs
1 large onion
4 eggs
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ cup arrowroot powder (or flour - plus more if needed)
coconut oil (for frying)

Instructions

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and place in a food processor. Add the yogurt and blend until smooth. Stir in the lemon zest and juice, dill, and garlic powder and set aside.
Peel the kohlrabi with a sharp knife. Grate the kohlrabi and onion with a box grater.
Wrap the grated kohlrabi and onion in a large clean dish towel, twist both ends, and squeeze tightly to remove any excess moisture and wilt the kohlrabi. Place the mixture in a large bowl. Add the eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne and mix with a large spoon until combined.
Stir in the arrowroot. If there is still liquid visible in the bowl, add more arrowroot to absorb and stir well to combine.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat enough oil so that when melted, you have ¼ inch oil. Scoop out about ⅓ cup of the kohlrabi mixture and form into patties by hand. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown, and repeat until the entire mixture has been used. Season lightly with salt and serve topped withe the avocado-yogurt sauce.
