Fennel and Kolhrabi - something a little different

You can cook with Fennel and Kolhrabi and these two ( rather different ) vegetables can be used as side dishes or as part of a salad. ( picture : Kolhrabi ).  If you choose to use Kolhrabi you do not use the stem parts or leaves - and you peel off the outter skin.  This vegetable can then be thinly sliced and diced, added to salads or stir-fry.

Fennel ( pictured here ) can be used in its entirety.  The green leafs are an excellent herb to dress a pork roast, or chicken, or rice and with other spices.  It's stock when thinly sliced, adds a wonderful flavor to salads and in a roasting pan underneath a rib roast or chicken, cooked along with the meat.

Go online and check out other ways these two vegetables can be added to your meals.
