Roasted Beets, Fennel, and Carrots with Blackberry Vinaigrette

Tyler Williams of Woodfire Grill demonstrated this recipe at Morningside Farmers Market earlier this month. It’s a perfect use of several things in your box (substitute more beets if you don’t have carrots around). Blackberries are in season right this minute and available at most local farmers markets this weekend, so stock up! No faro on hand? Substitute Israeli couscous, orzo or even rice.

“Cheezy” Kale Chips

I’m a new convert to nutritional yeast. It’s great in pestos as a substitute for Parmesan, and here it lends its’ “cheesy” flavor to kale chips. This is adapted from a recipe from Whole Foods.

Hoisin Pork with Napa Cabbage

I’m sorry not to remember where this recipe came from, but it’s a delicious and pretty traditional use for that head of Napa cabbage.

Broiled Bok Choy with Miso Sauce

This recipe comes from Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

Bulgur Salad with Kale, Salami and Olives

This is a great potluck dish, good hot or cold. The recipe is adapted from one I found on Whole Foods Market’s website.

Arabic Pickled Turnips

As promised – pickles. These are pickles I grew up eating, turnip pickles dyed fuchsia with the addition of a beet. Perfect for this box – one small beet, all your turnips and a clove of that fresh garlic. This recipe actually comes by way of ABC. Diane Sawyer made a trip to Syria and brought back turnip pickles – the folks on “The Chew” provided a recipe to make these stateside.

Chinese (Napa) Cabbage Salad

Another recipe idea from the folks at Serenbe.

Kohlrabi Chips

No doubt most of you have experimented with kale chips. How about kohlrabi chips? This recipe comes to us by way of the Wednesday morning Dunwoody Green Market.

Buttermilk Cornbread

Most of you probably don’t need a recipe for cornbread – but here’s one anyway from the October 2011 issue of Southern Living. Make it right before serving so you enjoy it hot out of the oven.

Jenn Robbins’ Purple Kohlrabi Slaw

Jenn Robbins of Avalon Catering created this recipe to showcase colorful purple kohlrabi. It’s just as delicious with the more common green variety but it’s perfect for the purple variety which loses its lovely color when it’s cooked.

Slaw wasn’t her only idea for using this vegetable. “I love kohlrabi! It creams beautifully with the greens mixed in, goes great in a potato salad dressed with a lemon vinaigrette, we also shave it and mix it into chicken salad, use it in our cold weather glazed/scalloped vegetable dish and I have even seen a peer make kohlrabi kraut,” she said. So now you’ve got lots of other ideas for your kohlrabi.
