This recipe comes from my Grandma Jo, by way of my Aunt Julie. My grandma enjoyed growing kohlrabi. It was a staple in her garden in Lima, Ohio. When harvested later, kohlrabi can have a tougher outer skin. So, we peel it to keep the brassica tender and tasty. It tastes like mild cauliflower. The garlic and pancetta add a lot of flavors while still letting the kohlrabi shine.

Notes
- We bought the pancetta at Trader Joe's. I like that it is already diced and ready to use.
- The kohlrabi came from our CSA box. It should also be easy to find in the produce section of any supermarket.
- Thank you for the recipe, Grandma Jo. We miss you.
