Ingredients

- 4 medium kohlrabi
- 500-600 g chicken livers
- 150 g rice
- 150 g bacon
- 1-2 onions
- 150 g mushrooms
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sweet paprika
- Butter for greasing the baking dish

For decoration:
- 1 cucumber
- 1 carrot
- 1 orange
- Corn (canned or boiled)
- Lettuce

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Kohlrabi
Start by thoroughly washing the kohlrabi. Use a vegetable brush to remove any impurities. Cut off the top of each kohlrabi to create a "lid" and use a spoon or knife to scoop out the core, being careful not to pierce the skin. The core can be kept to add to the filling.

Step 2: Preparing the Filling
In a large skillet, add a little oil and sauté the finely chopped onion until it becomes translucent. Add the diced mushrooms and bacon, allowing everything to brown slightly. Add the kohlrabi core (if you kept it), salt, pepper, and sweet paprika to taste.

Meanwhile, boil the rice in salted water for 15 minutes, then drain it well. Add the rice to the mixture of onion, mushrooms, and bacon and mix everything well, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3: Stuffing the Kohlrabi
Each kohlrabi will be filled with the resulting mixture. Use a spoon to ensure the filling reaches the top, but do not compress it too tightly. Place the stuffed kohlrabi in a butter-greased baking dish, making sure to place them cut side up.

Step 4: Baking
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake the stuffed kohlrabi for 45 minutes. Check occasionally, and when the skin softens slightly, they are ready.

Step 5: Preparing the Livers
While the kohlrabi are baking, wash and clean the chicken livers. You can marinate them with a little oil, salt, and pepper, then grill or pan-fry them in a non-stick skillet. Cook them for a few minutes on each side, being careful not to burn them and to keep them juicy.

Serving
Arrange the plate with the stuffed kohlrabi alongside the chicken livers. Decorate with fresh lettuce, orange slices, grated carrot, cucumber, and corn. This colorful mix is not only appetizing but also full of nutrients.

Practical Tips
- Choosing Kohlrabi: Make sure the kohlrabi are firm and without spots. Smaller kohlrabi are usually sweeter.
- Vegetarian Option: You can replace the chicken livers with a filling of vegetables and cheese for a delicious vegetarian option.
- Serving: This dish pairs wonderfully with a dry white wine or a cold lemonade to balance the intense flavors of the livers.

Nutritional Benefits
Chicken livers are an excellent source of protein, vitamins A and B12, while kohlrabi is rich in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. This recipe not only satisfies your hunger but also provides essential nutrients for a balanced diet.
