Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Kohlrabi

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel the kohlrabi and cut it into thick slices. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper.

2

Roast the Kohlrabi

Spread the kohlrabi slices on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and nicely browned.

3

Prepare the Turmeric Sauce

While the kohlrabi is roasting, grate the fresh turmeric and mix it with the elderflower cordial. Set aside.

4

Make the Vanilla Crème Fraîche

In a bowl, split the vanilla bean pod and scrape out the seeds. Mix the seeds into the crème fraîche. Add a pinch of salt and stir until well combined.

5

Prepare Gooseberries

Rinse the gooseberries and cut them in half. Toss with a little sugar if desired to balance the tartness.

6

Assemble the Dish

Once the kohlrabi is roasted, arrange it on a plate. Drizzle the turmeric sauce over the top, add the gooseberries, and finish with a dollop of vanilla crème fraîche topped with caviar.
