Smashed kohlrabi, apple and cider

Side Serves 3 35 min

Kohl rabi will never mash into a smooth purée, so embrace this fact by giving in to a bit of texture and unevenness. Call it rustic if you like. This is a gentle, sweet-sharp side dish full of fibre and vitamin C, and it goes well with pretty much anything.

Ingredients

  • 1 apple, peeled and chopped into small dice
  • 1 kohlrabi, peeled and chopped into small dice
  • 125ml cider
  • ½ tsp cider vinegar
  • 25g butter
  • pinch allspice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper

Method

Prep time: 10 min
Cooking time: 25 min

  • Step 1

    Put the apple, kohlrabi, cider, vinegar, butter and allspice in a pan, with just enough water to cover.

  • Step 2

    Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the liquid has evaporated and everything is tender (top up with a little more water if it dries out). Turn up the heat to reduce it if you need to.

  • Step 3

    Add the honey and mustard and lightly smash with a fork or masher. Season to taste.
