Gorgeous Mashed Swede Rutabaga Food

GORGEOUS MASHED SWEDE (RUTABAGA)

Steps:

• Peel and cube the swede and boil for 40 minutes or so until completely tender.
• Drain and return to the dry pan and place over a low heat to allow the excess water to evaporate off.
• Mash in the pan with a little milk, a lot of butter, some salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
• You won't believe how good it is!

MASHED RUTABAGAS

Steps:

• Peel rutabagas, and cut them in large chunks. Put them in a pan of cold salted water, cover, and bring to a boil. Simmer until very tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain the rutabagas, return them to the pan, and heat gently for 2 or 3 minutes to dry them. Mash the chunks with a potato masher or fork, the puree will always be slightly fibrous. Work in butter with a generous grate of nutmeg, taste, and adjust the seasoning.
