Better Rutabagas (With Cheese) image

I received rutabagas in my CSA box this week. I'd never had them before, but a friend told me I could cook them like mashed potatoes. So I peeled, boiled, and mashed them with butter, salt, and pepper. And took a taste... I was pleased to find they tasted a bit like smashed cauliflower, with a similar texture. And they hinted that what they really needed was onion and cheese. Here's how I made them:

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 -3 medium rutabagas, peeled and cut in 1-inch pieced
1 tablespoon butter
3 green onions, chopped, white and green parts
1/4-1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided (cheddar is also good)
salt and pepper

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.
