I have recently become the possessor of a kohl rabi, about the size of a tennis ball. What do I do with it?

Well, I was thinking of doing some roast veg for when OH comes in late tonight. That poss?
We had a little of it in our salad at lunchtime. Don't eat the peel
Probably not bouncy enough.
That sounds pretty yummy. Shame she's off spuds (don't ask me why) and I'm off cream.
I just peel it and grate it and serve either "remoulade" with a mustardy mayonnaise dressing or else mix it with grated apples and carrots and serve it like a cole slaw. Very refreshing.
Hmmmm.
I suspect it's going to end up roasted. Thanks anyway.
Yes - I was surprised how small it was - I'd thought kohl rabi was like celeriac. I just mentioned that, since we have salad for lunch (yes, even in this weather) maybe we shoud have some chopped white cabbage in it as a bit of a change. That's clearly not a common occurence in this part of the world.
Kohl rabi surprisingly nice in salads it has a slightly nutty flavour, I've never tried it cooked.
I don't think it lends itself to cooking. Far too much juice content.
It's really easy to grow but I stopped as I couldn't ever think of enough uses for it!
Right. Thanks for the advice.
Its going in today's lunch salad. Roasted veg last night was yummy (with baked chicken balls, if you see what I mean)
goes wonderfull in a kohlrabi kimchi plenty of recipies online, im looking forward to my first ever kohlrabi crop next year
