Reduce the heat, wipe the cooking fat from the pan, add a little clarified butter if necessary. Sauté the shallots and kohlrabi, pour in the wine and reduce to half the amount. Add the honey and stock, bring to the boil, reduce the heat, return the meat to the pan, cover and braise over a low heat for approx. 1 1/2 hrs. Stir in the cream.
