How To Make The Perfect Mashed Rutabaga Food

EASY MASHED RUTABAGA

Steps:

• Place rutabaga in a medium pot and add enough chicken broth to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and cook until tender, about 40 minutes.
• Transfer rutabaga to a colander and drain well. Place into a deep bowl; add evaporated milk and butter a little at a time until desired consistency is reached. Use an electric hand blender to get a creamy, non-fibrous texture. Season with salt and pepper.

HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT MASHED RUTABAGA

Steps:

• Rinse the rutabaga of its mud, then peel it. Cut the pale flesh into large chunks and pile into a steamer basket or metal colander. Place over a pan of boiling water and steam for twelve to fifteen minutes, then put into a bowl and crush with a potato masher. Fold in a slice of butter, some salt and black pepper, then beat hard with a wooden spoon.

RUTABAGA MASH

Steps:

• Peel and roughly chop 3 pounds rutabagas. Place in a pot and cover with equal parts milk and water (about 2 1/2 cups each); add a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until soft, 20 to 25 minutes; drain. Puree with 1/2 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons butter. Cook a few sliced garlic cloves and some fresh rosemary in olive oil; drizzle over the mash.
• TIP: Use a food processor or immersion blender to puree these veggies-they're too fibrous for a potato masher.
