Easter Sides, Part I

So, it just wouldn't be a family dinner if I didn't bring a side dish that only me, my mom, and Kevin would eat. Last time I brought kohlrabi, which my sister actually liked, but everyone else made faces over. This time, I went with kohlrabi sprouts (actually, there are two kinds of sprouts, but I can't remember what the others were). These young greens are much sweeter than more mature greens, so give them a try even if you don't like the bitterness of other greens. The sign at the farmers' market said that they would be good stir fried, so I just went for a quick sauté. 


Kohlrabi Sprouts
3 tblsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, rough chopped
1 large colander of kohlrabi sprouts
salt and pepper
Heat olive oil over high heat. Add sprouts and toss. Add garlic and toss. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the leaves are slightly wilted.
