If I could, I would reach out to each and every one of you, take you by the hand to the market, buy a bunch of kohlrabi and some ham, go back to your kitchen with you and make this dish for you. Just so you would try it.
It's that good.

The recipe was in a book that Garrett gave my father on Russian, German & Polish Food & Cooking. Dad has a preternatural affection for all things turnip and cabbage.
Kohlrabi means cabbage turnip in German, so of course dad couldn't wait to try the recipe. We all loved it so much we made him make it again a few days later and made sure my brother showed up for dinner.
