About
Keto Butter Sauteed Kohlrabi and Greens are made from the leaves and the root part of the kohlrabi. The kohlrabi and its greens are an excellent source of potassium which is so necessary for our diets. The root is peeled of its tough outer skin and then cut into small dice. The leaves are washed well and sliced into a thin julienne. Both the dice and leaves are sauteed in ample amounts of butter to make them extra tasty and satisfying. If you cannot eat butter, feel free to use ghee, olive oil, or avocado oil.
What nutrients are in kohlrabi?
Kohlrabi is exceptionally high in Vitamin C with good levels of Vitamin B6, Potassium, and Magnesium per one-cup serving.
What can I use instead of butter?
You can use avocado oil, lard, tallow, olive oil, or ghee.
Serving suggestions
Feel free to pair sauteed kohlrabi with any roast like a Keto Pot Roast:
Ingredients
- ½ lb kohlrabi, raw
- 10 oz greens
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Instructions
- Use a sharp chef’s knife to trim the kohlrabi root from the leaves. Wash the leaves very well in cool running water. Strip the fibrous stems from the inside of the leaves by grabbing hold of the stems with one hand and hold the leaf part in with the other hand. Use a chef’s knife to trim the tough outer layer from the kohlrabi root. You will know when you have cut enough of the outer skin off because the inside is a translucent color.
- Dice the kohlrabi root into small dice (¾” x ¾”) and slice the washed leaves thinly. To prepare the leaves, strip the leaves from the fibrous stems by grabbing the stems and pulling the leaves off.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add in the butter and allow it to melt, and swirl the pan to coat it. Add in the diced kohlrabi and cook it for one minute until it starts to brown on one side.
- Give it a toss, then add the leaves. Allow the leaves to cook to your liking. The leaves are tough, so if you opt for a longer cooking time, add a couple of tablespoons of water to soften the leaves.
- Stir the leaves. Add the salt and taste, adding more salt as desired.
