Kohlrabi 'au vin rouge'

Preparation

How to prepare the kohlrabi

• Peel the kohlrabi and cut into 4 parts.
• Mix all other ingredients in the saucepan and bring slowly to the boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar. As soon as the wine boils, sieve out the blackcurrants. The orange peel, cinnamon and cardamom pods go back into the wine.
• Add the kohlrabi and simmer over low heat. Use the tip of a sharp knife to check whether the kohlrabi is cooked and soft. This will take about 1 hour.
• Remove the kohlrabi from the pan and cover it with plastic foil. Reduce the wine to a syrup.

To serve
