(Recipe) Kohlrabi fries with Oyster mushroom Shawarma

1. Prepare the Kohlrabi Fries

   • Wash the kohlrabi and cut it into fry-sized sticks.

   • Bring a pot of water with a pinch of salt to a boil and add the fries. Parboil them for about 5 minutes, ensuring they’re not fully cooked.

   • Drain and rinse the fries under cold water. Let them dry.

   • Pat the fries dry with a clean kitchen towel, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat evenly.

2. Preheat the Oven or Air Fryer

   • Preheat your oven or air fryer to 190-200°C (375-390°F).

3. Make the Garlic Sauce

   • Combine the mayonnaise and skyr in a bowl.

   • Add the minced garlic clove, finely chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

4. Prepare the Vegetables

   • Tear the oyster mushrooms into strips.

   • Cut the red bell pepper into strips and the red onions into thin half-rings.

5. Bake the Fries

   • Spread the kohlrabi fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. If using an air fryer, check after 7 minutes and shake the basket.

6. Cook the Shawarma

   • While the fries are in the oven, heat a splash of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

   • Sauté the onion rings for about 5 minutes until softened.

   • Add the bell pepper and oyster mushrooms, and turn up the heat. Stir-fry for another 5 minutes.

   • Add the shawarma spices and season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Serve

   • Plate the kohlrabi fries alongside the oyster mushroom shawarma.

   • Drizzle with the garlic sauce and serve with a refreshing salad, such as a red cabbage slaw.

Enjoy your healthy and flavorful meal!
