Kohlrabi Carrot Fritters with Lemon Tahini Sauce – The Wholesome Kitchen
Ingredients

• 2 kohlrabi bulbs, peeled
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 green onion, chopped
• Bunch of parsley, chopped
• 1 egg
• ¼ bread crumbs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

Lemon Tahini Sauce

• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 olive oil
• 1/4 tahini
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1 clove of garlic, grated
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

To peel the kohlrabi, remove the outer leaves and peel the bulb with a knife or a potato peeler. Shred the vegetables in a food processor, or by hand using a grater. Season with salt and allow to sit for up to ½ hour.  Using your hands, squeeze out moisture, then add to a medium bowl with 1 egg, chopped green onion, bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste.  Mix to combine.

Add about 2 tbsp of avocado or coconut oil  to a heavy or cast iron pan. Heat the oil over medium high heat. Form small patties of the fritter mixture  and carefully place into the oil. Fry on one side until browned, then fry on the other side. Remove and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil. Add another tablespoon of oil if needed.
