Smashed kohlrabi, apple and cider
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.

- 1 apple, peeled and chopped into small dice
- 1 kohlrabi, peeled and chopped into small dice

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.
