Roasted Kohlrabi with Veggies
This year I have been working with my friend Karen, of ArtfulTea in her vegetable garden, and reaping the benefits of the beautiful vegetables that have been growing. I can’t believe that I have not taken any photos to share on my blog to show you the progress of the garden! In my defense, things have been super busy…as you might be able to guess from my absence of over a month. I have been missing sharing my cooking adventures here on the blog, but school and work have been keeping me quite busy.
I have not given up on cooking, it is still a high priority, but a lot of my creations have been quick and easy recipes that I eat so fast I don’t have time to photograph! I was able to take a few shots of this yummy creation before I devoured it. The colors were too beautiful not to catch on “film” and it was delicious.
I will admit that this is the first time I have ever cooked kohlrabi, and it will not be the last. I really liked it! It reminds me a little of broccoli and was a great addition to this dish. The recipe is inspired by Karina’s recipe for Sicilian Roasted Potatoes but I created my own twist. I definitely suggest you try it, and let me know what you think!

Roasted Vegetable Tart
Saturday, May 16th, 2009
A bite of goodness
The other night we had a dinner party with some of our friends here in Boulder. It was great to see them again as time seems to get away from us when it comes to socializing. When it comes to having a dinner party, I am always happy to create something that I don’t usually make for myself. A new recipe, or an old favorite becomes an opportunity for a new twist. I have been playing with tart recipes for a little while now, and thought that would be perfect for this crowd. A mix of gluten-free gourmets I knew that it would be a great opportunity to try out a gluten-free tart crust. Thankfully, the reviews were quite supportive of the outcome!
I made two different crusts because one friend also avoids flax and almonds, but I still wanted to see how the tart would taste with those ingredients…personally I think both were really good. I will list the variations below in case you want to try both as well. I will not mislead you by saying that this recipe is easy. It was a lengthy process, but it was totally worth it! And we just made sure to make extra so we would have leftovers to savor for the next few days. (I suggest you do so as well!)
