Kohlrabi Fritters with Mango Lime Sauce

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.

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

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.
