Instructions
Cucumber Potato Salad
- Peel the potatoes, fill a large pot with water, add salt and boil the potatoes until tender (depending on their size, about 20-30 minutes). Strain and let them cool a bit while you continue with the dressing.
- Dice the onion and sauté it in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons oil, until translucent. Deglaze with vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Remove from the heat and add in the white wine vinegar, sugar and salt & pepper.
- Peel the cucumber and slice into thin rounds. Cube the potatoes.
- Pour the dressing into a salad bowl, add the vegetables and canola oil and toss.
- Add fresh dill and season with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Kohlrabi Schnitzel
- Peel and cut the kohlrabis into 1 cm thick slices. Boil in salted water for about 5 minutes, until tender.
- Combine the water and flour until no clumps remain and stir in the salt, paprika and black pepper.
- Heat enough frying oil in a large pan to cover the bottom of it.
- First dredge the kohlrabi pieces in the flour, then the water-flour mixture and then into the breadcrumbs. Gently press to seal.
- Fry the kohlrabi slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with the cucumber potato salad.
