"There is very obvious Austrian influence in this meal. My grandmother used to prepare this side dish every spring, and I remember that, as a kid, I was thrilled every time I had this meal for lunch."

3. Stew must be sticky but not too much. When adding water do not put too much, just to cover the vegetables. You can also use kohlrabi leaves to add into stew, but not too much. Kohlrabi must be small, not bigger than tennis ball, otherwise it will be too hard with wooden parts inside which is not good. You can also add potatoe.
