Recipe:
RUTABAGA! Still swooning! You can mash them just like you do your potatoes or you can follow this recipe for security.
Mashed Rutabaga
Ingredients:
- Scrubbed and cubed rutabaga, 1 quart will do. Some folks peel them, but without the wax and chemicals, I don't think there is any reason.
- 3-4 Tablespoons oil or butter
- Salt and pepper
- Nutmeg (optional)
- Put rutabaga in a sauce pan and cover with water (add a dash of salt!)
- Bring to boil and and simmer until tender (about 30 to 40 minutes)
- Drain and return to pot
- Add butter, salt, pepper, and 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Mash 'em up!
These are great as a side dish. Great centrally located. Great.
