This week I’ve gone all-in for brunch! Both dishes I made with these week’s bounty of veg are perfect for a hearty brunch or a make ahead lunch for work or busier days.
The frittata I made uses so many greens – turnips tops, kale, and all those lovely beet greens. I made a big batch, and plan on freezing portions for lunches this week.
The kohlrabi hash is something totally new to me. I usually like my kohlrabi raw – like in this kohlrabi lime slaw. This recipe has totally changed my mind. It’s a completely different take – it’s richly flavoured and almost creamy, compared to the crisp lightness of kohlrabi slaw. Let me know what you think if you try it!

Kohlrabi Bacon Hash
The kohlrabi is transformed into a creamy and deeply satisfying bite in this savoury hash. The recipe comes together quickly, and is a perfect side dish for brunch or lunch. I found this recipe on bon appetit.

- 4-6 slices of bacon, chopped into small pieces
- 1 tsp tamari
Instructions
-
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon begins to brown, 5–7 minutes; transfer to a bowl.
-
Increase heat to medium-high and cook kohlrabies in skillet, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
-
Add scallions and garlic and cook, tossing, until scallions are soft and garlic is golden, about 3 minutes.

Add bacon and soy sauce and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper.
Multi-Greens Frittata
This frittata is an excellent way to use and enjoy the bounty of greens we got in the share this week. It's also extremely versatile – feel free to use whatever cooking greens you have on hand, and flavour it how you like with different spices and cheeses. Sauteed mushrooms would also be an excellent addition.
