Rutabaga Mash
I needed to do something other than mashed potatoes, and while I’ve never had rutabaga before, I’ve heard about it’s propensity for being mashed…and I was up for trying something new.
It turns out I REALLY LIKE RUTABAGA. It’s a good bit sweeter than normal mashed potatoes and has almost a cauliflower flavor to it, but way smoother and more delicious. I treated it like potatoes with some (not SOY milk since it’s still Passover), earth balance, salt, and pepper. I didn’t really try to get this perfectly smooth, while I might’ve been able to with time, I wasn’t feeling all that motivated, and I kind of liked having a little texture in the dish.
I will admit to being a bit shocked when the rutabaga turned yellow as it cooked…considering it started out the same color as a russet potato.
Selah.
Looks tasty! I’m going to have to give that a try.
try cauliflower mashed with garlic and herbs. steam or cook it in veggie stock.
mmmm that’s a REALLY good idea. I never know what to do with cauliflower, after it sits in the fridge for two weeks I usually end up currying it and being severely underwhelmed…
