Kohlrabi with Cheese

4 kohlrabi
water
salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/4 cup grated cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

Cut tops off and pare thick stems of kohlrabi. Slice stems and place in salted water to cover. Boil for about 20 minutes, or until just tender. Drain well.

Boil tender leaves separately until tender; drain. Chop leaves finely and combine with cooked stems. Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat. Add flour and stir well until smooth and blended.

Gradually add milk and cheese, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and sauce is thick. Add cooked kohlrabi and cook until hot. Garnish with parsley and nutmeg.
