Ingredients
Crispy Kohlrabi Sticks
- Ingredients
- 4 small Kohlrabi (each about 150 grams)
- salt
- 7 ozs Quark
- 3 Tbsps mineral water (carbonated)
- ½ lemon
- 4 sprigs Tarragon
- 1 cane sugar
- peppers
- 3 eggs
- 6 Tbsps breadcrumbs
- 4 Tbsps Sesame seeds
- 4 Tbsps Spelt flour
- 2 Tbsps Canola oil
Peel kohlrabi, cut into about 1.5 cm (approximately 1/2-inch) thick slices, then cut into 1.5 cm (approximately 1/2-inch) thick sticks. Blanch in a pot of boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes.
Lift out with a slotted spoon and plunge into a bowl of ice water. Remove, drain and spread on paper towels.
Stir together the quark and mineral water in a bowl until smooth. Squeeze out lemon juice.
Rinse tarragon, shake dry, pluck leaves and chop finely. Stir into quark mixture. Season with salt and pepper, a little lemon juice and the sugar.
Separate the eggs and whisk yolks in a deep plate with a fork. (Save egg whites for another use.)
Mix breadcrumbs and sesame seeds in another deep plate.
Place flour in a third deep plate. Dredge kohlrabi sticks in flour and tap off excess lightly. Then dip each in the egg mixture and then the sesame mixture.
Heat the canola oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry kohlrabi sticks in batches until golden brown around edges, about 4 minutes. Serve with the tarragon sauce for dipping.
