Ingredients

4 bulbs of Darts own kohlrabi
1 teaspoon Honest Toil Olive Oil
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 anchovy fillets (drained and patted dry)
3 large cloves of The Garlic Farm garlic (chopped and crushed)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped Darts own flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons water

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat a large cast-iron skillet. Remove kohlrabi leaf stems from the bulb, thinly slice leaves and set aside. Trim off the base and top of kohlrabi bulbs, then peel them using a potato peeler or sharp knife. Cut bulbs into small wedges.
Toss together kohlrabi wedges and 1 teaspoon Honest Toil Olive Oil in a large bowl. Place wedges in the hot skillet, and cook until brown around edges (about 6 minutes).
Transfer skillet to preheated oven and roast the kohlrabi wedges, stirring occasionally until tender when pierced with tip of a knife (12 to 15 minutes).
While the kohlrabi is cooking, heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a small skillet over low heat. Add the anchovy fillets, The Garlic Farm garlic, and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the anchovies are sizzling (about 5 minutes).
Put this mixture into to a food processor, add lemon juice and white wine vinegar, and process until blended (about 10 seconds). Transfer bagna càuda sauce to a small bowl, and stir in the flat-leaf parsley.
Add the sliced kohlrabi leaves and water to a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the greens are wilted (about 1 minute). Transfer greens to a bowl with the roasted kohlrabi wedges, and toss with bagna càuda sauce. Serve immediately.
