Soup of roasted kohlrabi, coconut and prawns

Kohlrabi is the bulbous stem of a cabbage plant.

Raw, kohlrabi has a celery-like flavor; when cooked, its taste resembles cauliflower, but a bit spicier. Our chefs made a soup with it using coconut and prawns, served in a kohlrabi.

Prefer vegetarian? Replace the prawns with crab free cakes.
