Kohlrabi Fritters with Mango Lime Sauce
Kohlrabi, also called German turnip, tends to be a forgotten fall vegetable. But, in the right flavor combinations, it can be a star! In addition, kohlrabi is very healthy – packed with fiber, Vitamin C and lots of antioxidants – making it a great choice for fall and winter.
In this dish, the sweetness of mango pairs perfectly with the peppery flavor of kohlrabi.
This is a very versatile dish: you can serve it as an appetizer, as a side to fish and seafood dishes, but it works also great for lunch or as a light dinner.
Kohlrabi Fritters with Mango Lime Sauce
Ingredients
For the fritters:
- 1 lb grated raw kohlrabi 500 g
- 1 small grated white onion
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup flour 80g
- 1/4 cup ricotta
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg or freshly grinded
- ½ tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 small garlic clove finely chopped
- Olive oil for frying
For the mango and lime sauce;
- 3 ½ oz frozen or fresh mango 100g
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 1 tsp chili flakes
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp honey
Instructions
Fir the fritters:
- Combine the kohlrabi with the onion, salt and lime juice. Allow to sit for 20 minutes, then squeeze out any excess liquid.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic, ginger, pepper, and ricotta.
- Add the mix to the kohlrabi mixture. Combine well and sprinkle in the flour. Fold to incorporate.
- Form palm size patties. In a skillet, heat up about 2 teaspoons olive oil and cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through.
For the mango lime sauce:
- Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer for about 15 minutes or until soft. If you are using fresh mango, you might need to add about ¼ cup (60 ml) water. Using a stand or hand mixer, blend until smooth.
