You will need (for two):
250g beef mince
1 medium onion
A splash of Worcestershire sauce
2 small carrots
1 small kohlrabi
Mayonnaise
Salt and pepper
Burger accessories like cheese, lettuce, buns etc.
Start by making the burgers. Finely chop the onion and add about a third of it to a bowl with the mince, Worcestershire sauce and some salt and pepper. Squeeze all of this together with your hands until well mixed and then form into burger shapes. Fry the burgers in a little oil until cooked.
While the burgers are cooking put the rest of the onion into another bowl and peel and chop the carrots and kohlrabi to the same size as the onion. Stir all of the vegetables together in the bowl with a good dollop of mayonnaise and a little salt and pepper.
When the burgers are almost ready I like to add a thick slice of cheese while they’re still in the pan so it starts to melt. Assemble your burger how you see fit; I would always opt for plentiful gherkins.

Wow what a fab way to use up Kohlrabi. It will be a definite on my list to grow this year.

Would this taste nice with turkey mince?? I don’t eat beef but they look amazing…!
Petra says
What a great way to eat kholrabi! I must try it, usually I do a quick pickle. Home made burgers are always yummy! It looks great and saying that it is time to think about dinner! 🙂

This is a lovely idea – I imagine that the slight appley (is that a word?!) flavour would be fab with a burger. I used to share a garden with an elderly Polish gentleman. My part was grass and his was vegetables. He grew loads of kohlrabi and ate them like apples!

You’re brave – writing about (beef)burgers at this time! Kohlrabi is a veg I really like eating but not one I have been very successful at growing.
Andrea Mynard says
These look great. I think making home-made burgers from good, well-reared meat is exactly what we should be doing! And just included kohlrabi in my seed order so lovely to have inspiration for how to use it.
Medeja says
I prefer making my own burgers! Well.. but I have to admit that buns I don’t make myself.. 😀

Who needs Hungry Jacks or Oportos when your burgers look so much more delicious my friend 😀
Will you be open at 11pm too? 😉
Cheers

I’ve maybe had kohlrabi once before but I’m totally intrigued by this slaw! I think it might be a regular feature in my life!

Oh I must try this combination out. I love burgers and coleslaw but have never had them together. Kohlrabi is something I never eat enough of so I will look to try it and know I will enjoy it very much!
grace says
your cheese slice is nearly as thick as your burger. you are my new favorite person. 🙂

Hello! I recently just started a youtube Korean food channel, EasyKoreanFood, where you can learn how to make fast & easy Korean food! It would mean the world to me if you could check it out because I’m just starting out! Thanks!

I too like home made burgers which are not thick patties. Though the veg is a new discovery for me, I love how you made the burger. Been some time since I made burgers at home and after seeing the lovely burgers of yours, I am on stand by to make some at home.
Amy says
What a decadent treat. I love your juicy burger with the crunchy and juicy slaw. What a great use of the kohlrabi! Your burger is just the perfect size. 😉 Lovely. Wish you a wonderful weekend.
Jacqueline @Howtobeagourmand says
Never actually used kohlrabi as an ingredient before but you have put it to very good use. I agree with you – you can’t beat a good burger – and thick ones are so much more satisfying than flimsy thin ones
Mich Piece of Cake says
Caroline, your burger is absolutely mouth-watering! And I love the fact its made from scratch.
rita cooks italian says
Did my comment disappear? We are both having comments issues these days…LOL I love the idea of hamburger/coleslaw combination, I’m curious about Kohlrabi (new veg to me!)
