Grated Rutabaga With Parmesan Food

GRATED RUTABAGA WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add wine and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add rutabaga, stock, and thyme and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered, until rutabaga is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with cheese before serving.

RUTABAGA, PEAR AND TURNIP GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the cream, milk, mustard, cayenne, nutmeg, a generous amount of salt and the turnips and rutabaga in a large bowl. Mix well. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large pot over medium heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally to assure the mixture is not sticking to the bottom, until the vegetables give up water and become tender, for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and taste for seasoning.
• Make the topping: Mash 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl. Add the panko, almonds and 1/2 cup Parmesan and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Add the pears to the turnip mixture. Grease the bottom and sides of a 3-quart gratin dish with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Spread the minced garlic on the bottom of the dish with the back of a spoon. Arrange half of the turnip mixture and cream evenly in the bottom of the gratin dish, pressing down to flatten the mixture. Top with the Gruyere and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan. Arrange the remaining turnip mixture evenly on top. Pour any leftover cream over the gratin. Cover the dish with a sheet of foil, crimping the edges, and place on a baking sheet so that no excess liquid will leak onto the floor of your oven and burn.
• Place in the center of the oven and bake for 1 hour. Carefully remove from the oven, take off the foil and return to the oven to cook until completely tender when pierced with the tip of a small knife, 45 minutes to 1 hour more.
• Top the gratin with the panko-cheese mixture and bake until golden brown, about another 15 minutes. Remove and cool at least 30 minutes but no longer than 1 hour before serving.

BETTER RUTABAGAS (WITH CHEESE)

Steps:

• Boil the rutabagas in water until tender. Drain and mash.
• Add other ingredients, reserving 1 tablespoon cheese (use more or less cheese depending on how large your roots are, how well you like cheese, and how well you like rutabaga!) and combine thoroughly.
• Place in shallow baking dish, sprinkle with cheese, and bake at 350F until cheese on top is toasted.

RUTABAGA GRATIN

Steps:

• Make cashew cream: In a medium bowl, pour boiling water over cashews and let sit until they soften, at least 15 minutes and up to 30. Stir in yeast. Puree mixture in a blender on highest setting until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Seasonwith salt to taste. Set aside.
• Make breadcrumbs: Pulse bread in a food processor until coarsely ground. Set aside. (You should have 1 cup.)
• Assemble gratin: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover bottom of an 8-inch-round baking dish with a single layer of rutabaga slices, overlapping edges and working in a circle. Season with salt, pepper, andsome of the chopped herbs. Add another layer and season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Pour in about 1/3 of cashew cream -- enough to cover both layers. Continue until baking dish is full. Pour in remainingcashew cream. Sprinkle nutmeg over top layer. Toss breadcrumbs with oil in a small bowl. Top gratin with breadcrumbs.
• Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until rutabagas are tender when pierced with a sharp knife and breadcrumbs are golden brown, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

GLAZED RUTABAGAS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over low heat; add brown sugar and cook and stir until brown sugar has dissolved. Stir water and soy sauce into butter mixture, increase heat to medium-high, and bring mixture to a boil. Stir in chopped rutabaga and return to boil.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes.

RUTABAGA FRIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Cut and discard peel from rutabaga; cut rutabaga in half, then cut each half into 1/2-inch-thick sticks.
• Whisk oil, cheese, garlic, seasonings and mustard in medium bowl until blended.
• Add rutabaga sticks; mix lightly. Spread onto parchment-covered rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake 40 to 45 min. or until tender.
• Serve with garlic aioli.

SHREDDED RUTABAGA SUPREME

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in a wide pan with a lid (you'll need the lid later). Remove bacon. It can be used in another recipe.
• Add the butter, shallot, and kala jeera to the bacon fat. Let the butter melt and the shallot caramelize over medium heat, until brown.
• Reduce the heat. Add the dry vermouth to the pan, to deglaze the pan.
• Add the shredded rutabaga to the pan. Stir and turn it with a turner/spatula, until the liquid coats it evenly.
• Sprinkle the lemon juice, salt, and seasonings into the mix, and stir again.
• Cover, raise the heat to medium. Stir occasionally. Let cook for 10-15 minutes.
