I really like rutabegas! I usually cube them & add them to split pea soup.

Haas anybody tried to cook them on the grill. Either sliced or cubed with salt and pepper, wrapped in foil?
|
My mom used to mash them like potatoes or add them to roasts. I was never fond of the mashed ones but still throw a couple in with my roasts occasionally

Was scratching my head wondering what on earth this vegetable is, so googled it....we call them Swedes, and they are lovely...not so commonly used as when I was small.

There is nothing like a fresh rutabaga! They are easier to peal than the store bought ones (Too Dried Out!). I cube them. Cook them in water, a bacon slice and salt and pepper in a pressure cooker for 5 or 6 minutes. Soo good with chicken and rice dressing with a pone of cornbread.

I peel the rutabagas and cut into cubes, then I peel a few carrots and cut them up also and boil them together with a 1/2 teaspoon to teaspoon of white sugar ( sweetens them a bit) We also boiled the rutabagas and carrots together then mash when done.....tasty
|
We have them every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Peel them like potatoes I try to be busy doing something else so my sister has to peel them. They are hard to peel and cut in chunks. Haha. We boil them with some crisco oil and pepper and salt. That's how we do it.

I cook rutabagas with butternut squash and mash them together and place a blackened chicken breast on the puree, and the patients think they are dining 5 star. I also side it with fresh grilled pineapple for a very nice presentation
|
I start off boiling cubed pieces then cut up carrots after a few minutes. I then add cubed potatoes. Once all cooked, mash them up. Sometimes we just have them as plain mashed and sometimes I use it for the topping of a shepherds pie.
FYI - if you put root veggies in microwave for a few minutes, it will be much easier to cut up. You need to try your particular microwave but I usually do this for 5 mins for a good sized rutabaga |
