The other night I grabbed a rutabaga (swede, neep) and put it in our grocery cart. My wife picked up that large, wax-coated behemoth and asked "What are you going to do with this?" To which I replied "Roast it."
Well, last night I peeled and cubed the rutabaga, tossed it in olive oil and salt, and I roasted it. My wife and child were amazed at how tasty and sweet it was.
Who else enjoys rutabagas, and how do you prepare them?
Roast them with other roots (carrot, parsnip, potatoes) and they turn into sweet deliciousness. Boil and mash with lashings of butter and pepper and they are divine.
One of my favorite veggies, shame they are so expensive over here in the UK they are pennies a lb and used for sheep feed in the winter months
Huh??? did you tried it - I mean - Rutabaga??
Nutty and sweet with a mild turnip-like flavor, rutabagas can be roasted, sautéed, baked, fried, boiled, mashed, and added to soups and stews. They also can be eaten raw as a snack or grated into salads or coleslaw. A mix of mashed rutabagas, potatoes, onions, and carrots, seasoned with butter and salt, is a hearty, warming dish. I love it in the winter, and I also love to eat the leaves!
I grow up with that stuff! Rutabaga is nor only delicious, but also very healthy - an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium, and manganese, and a good source of fiber, thiamin, vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. All these provide such a combination of nutritional benefits as to promote healthy function throughout the body, while protecting from heart disease and cancer. In fact, clinical studies show that colorectal and prostate cancers can be diminished by ingesting healthy amounts of brassica vegetables, such as rutabaga.
If rutabaga is a new vegetable for you, give it a try roasted or sautéed with raw butter, salt and pepper, or processed for a delicious, creamy sauce.

Oh, yes. But for some reason my taste buds convert them to bitter root.
I figured "I'm willing to try them" would catch that.
I slice off the ends, slice the skin off with a chef knife, the cube them. It's pretty easy to do with a sharp knife.
Oops! Totally missed that option for some odd reason.
I am definitely going to try them!
