Kohlrabi Fritters

Ingredients

2 medium-sized kohlrabi
1-2 carrots

1/2 green garlic/ to taste
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup vegetable or olive oil
Yogurt or sour cream to use as sauce (optional)

Instructions

Cut the leaves off the kohlrabi and peel the bulb. Shred the carrots, kohlrabi and green garlic in a food processor or with a grater.  Squeeze the shredded vegetables in a tea cloth, or with your hands, to remove the moisture, then combine in a bowl with the egg, salt and cayenne.  

Place the oil in a skillet (about 1/4-inch depth).  Heat the oil over medium high heat, then place small patties of the fritter mixture into the oil.  Fry on one side until browned, then fry on the other side.  Remove and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil.

These should be served as soon as they are ready.  They are good with a spoonful of yogurt or sour cream on top.
