Kohlrabi Madness: The Feta-Tomato Love Affair 🥳

Okay, friends! Have you ever had one of those days where you just wanna throw everything in a pan and hope for the best? 🙋‍♀️ Like, you’re tired, maybe a lil’ hangry, and you need something quick but also kinda fancy? Well, let me tell you about this *Kohlrabipfanne mit Tomate und Feta* — it’s a game-changer!

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, so picture this: you’re in the grocery store, and you’ve got your list ready. Here’s what you need for this dish:

– 1.2 kg Kohlrabi (Yeah, it’s that weird-looking veggie, but trust me, it’s delicious)
– 750 ml veggie broth (made from the powder stuff or homemade, no judgment here)
– 30 ml olive oil (2 tablespoons, but I usually eyeball it… oops)
– 75 g red onion, diced (don’t cry on me, okay?)
– 1 clove garlic, finely chopped (because, garlic = love)
– 600 g cherry tomatoes, quartered (the sweeter, the better!)
– 2 tablespoons tomato paste (double concentrated is the way to go)
– 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar (trust me on this one)
– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (fresh is best, but dried works too)
– 125 g herb cream cheese (for that creamy goodness)
– 125 g feta, crumbled (the star of the show)
– Salt and pepper, obviously

Got it? Okay, let’s do this!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, real talk. The first time I made this, I had a *serious* kohlrabi crisis. 😂 I didn’t know what to do with it, and it was just sitting there, looking all sad in my fridge. So, I googled around and found this recipe. I threw everything together, and OMG, the smell! It’s like a cozy hug in your kitchen!

I ended up serving it to some friends who were over for dinner, and they were all, “What’s this magical dish?” And I was like, “Just some random stuff I found in my fridge.” 😂

Now, it’s definitely a weekly staple. It’s healthy, super filling, and *so freaking easy*. Plus, it’s a solid way to impress anyone who eats it. I’m basically a culinary wizard now… at least in my own kitchen, right?

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Listen up! The key to this whole dish is the sautéing. When you cook the onions and garlic until they’re just starting to turn golden, you’re releasing alllll that flavor magic. Don’t rush this part! Give it a minute and let it work its charm. Seriously, it’s the difference between a “meh” dish and something that makes you wanna dance around your kitchen!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Kohlrabi can be tough if you don’t cut it small enough. Seriously, that stuff can be like a rock if you don’t chop it into those 1-2 cm cubes.
2. Watch the tomatoes. They can go from perfectly cooked to mushy in a heartbeat. Like, keep an eye on them when they’re simmering!
3. Don’t skip on the salt and pepper. It’s like a personal pep talk for your food. It makes everything *pop*!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if you somehow have leftovers (not likely, but just in case), pop them in an airtight container. They’ll stay good in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Reheat in a pan – trust me, it tastes better than the microwave. You want that feta to sizzle a bit!
