Kohnrabi & Tomatillos - what to do with strange veggies...

Here is what I did with this weeks odd veggies - and my family ate them!!!

TOMATILLO SALSA
Take 8-10 tomatillos and peel off the husk. Wash off the sticky parts. Place in a pot of water with a little salt. Bring to a boil and cook about 10 min. Drain. Put them in a blender or food processor with 5 sprigs of Cilantro, 1/2 small onion and 1 chopped jalopena pepper. Blend. Chill. Use as a dip with tortilla chips.

KOHLRABI SLAW
Peel and grate kohlrabi into fine julienne strips. Slice 3-4 inner celery ribs. Toss with Mustard Vinaigrette (below)

1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper
