Mashed Rutabaga Yellow Turnip Or Swede And Potato Food

MASHED RUTABAGAS

Steps:

• Peel rutabagas and slice thinly.
• Put in medium saucepan and cover with water.
• Boil until tender, 30-45 minutes.
• Mash then add sour cream, margarine and salt
• Eat and enjoy.

MASHED RUTABAGA (YELLOW TURNIP OR SWEDE) AND POTATO

Steps:

• Place the rutabaga in a 6 quart pot with ample water and a pinch of salt. Boil for 15 minutes.
• Add the turnips and potatoes and boil 15 minutes more, until all the vegetables are tender.
• Drain well.
• Mash the vegetables with the remaining ingredients. (I do it right in the pot.) You can also use an immersion blender to puree them.

MASHED YELLOW TURNIPS WITH CRISPY SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Heat the oil and unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it reaches 220 degrees F. Reduce the heat to low, add the shallots, and cook until they are a rich golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. The temperature should stay below 260 degrees F. Stir the shallots occasionally to make sure they brown evenly. Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain well, and spread out to cool on paper towels. Once they have dried and crisped, they can be stored at room temperature, covered, for several days.
• Peel the turnips to remove the waxy skins and cut them into generous 1-inch chunks. Place them in a saucepan with water to cover and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, until easily pierced by a paring knife, about 35 minutes. Drain.
• In a separate saucepan, heat the milk and salted butter over low heat until the butter has melted and the milk just begins to simmer.
• Puree the turnips in several batches in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. With the motor running, add the melted butter and milk in a steady stream. The turnips should be smooth.
• Return the puree to the saucepan, season with 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper, and reheat, stirring, over medium heat. Serve piping hot, sprinkled generously with crispy shallots.

MASHED RUTABAGAS

Steps:

• Wash and cut streak-o'-lean to your liking. Cook's note: You can use ham hocks, smoked wings or even cut up bacon. Place in a pot with enough water to cook the meat; add pinch of salt to water. Allow to come to a boil, about 15 minutes.
• Cook's note: The water will cook out, so it might be necessary to add more during cooking.
• Peel rutabagas and cut into 1/2-inch slices, then cut into cubes. Add rutabaga to the meat. Add sugar, salt and pepper. Cover pot and cook until tender, about 45 minutes. When done remove some water from the pot. Mash, add butter and season, to taste.

MASHED RUTABAGAS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In large pot, bring potatoes, rutabagas and enough salted water to cover to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes, or until potatoes and rutabagas are fork-tender; drain.
• Transfer to large bowl. Using hand masher or potato ricer, mash potato mixture until smooth. In pot over medium-high heat, warm buttermilk and butter for 1 minute, or until hot.
• Stir hot buttermilk mixture into potatoes. Fold in chives; season with salt and pepper, if desired.

SAUTEED YELLOW TURNIPS (SWEDE OR RUTABAGA)

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet and sauté the turnips until soft and deep yellow in colour.
• Season with salt, pepper and brown sugar.
• Serve hot.

MASHED RUTABAGA

Steps:

• Peel and cube the rutabaga. Add the diced rutabaga to a medium saucepan and cover it with cold water.
• Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 40 to 50 minutes until the rutabaga is fork tender.
• Drain the boiling water once the rutabaga is cooked. Return it to the pot. Use a potato masher to break it up. Add 2 tablespoons of butter. Season with salt and white pepper and mash again.
• Add the sour cream, if using, and mix through the rutabaga mash.
• Add the brown sugar, if using, and mix through the rutabaga mash.
• Serve hot as a vegetable side dish for dinner.

MASHED SWEDE

Steps:

• Peel the swede, quarter, and cut into 2"/5cm chunks.
• Place the swede in a saucepan, cover with salted water, and bring to the boil. Cook for 15-18 minutes, until soft.
• Once cooked, strain the swede in a sieve or colander. Allow to drain for a few minutes so that the swede is dry. This stops the mash becoming watery.
• Put the swede back into the saucepan. Add butter and milk or cream. Chop the swede up with a sharp knife (this makes mashing much easier).
• Mash the swede. For the smoothest results, use a stick blender or food processor.
• Check seasoning, and add pepper and extra salt to taste. Top with a knob of butter and serve.

MASHED POTATOES AND RUTABAGA WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Cover the rutabaga and potatoes with cold, generously salted water in a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the vegetables and return to the pot over low heat. Stir in 8 tablespoons butter. Mash with a potato masher, ricer or food mill until smooth, adding the warm half-and-half and 2 teaspoons salt. Keep warm while preparing breadcrumbs.
• Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lemon zest and scallions. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the parsley and breadcrumbs and cook over medium-low heat, stirring until evenly toasted, 3 to 4 more minutes. (If the breadcrumbs toast too quickly, reduce the heat.)
• Transfer the mashed vegetables to a large shallow platter and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs just before serving. Garnish with scallion slices. (To curl them, julienne whole scallions and place in ice water.)
