This is a family favorite at holidays, particularly among the adults. Shallots can be substituted for onion and hazelnuts substituted for pecans if desired.

Time 10h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
½ onion, chopped
1 ½ cups chicken stock
¼ cup butter, divided
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 tablespoons baking powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup finely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Combine carrots, rutabaga, onion, chicken stock, 3 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, and nutmeg in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover saucepan with a lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Transfer vegetables using a slotted spoon to a food processor or blender. Continue to cook remaining broth mixture in saucepan over high heat, stirring constantly, until liquid reduced to about 1 tablespoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Add reduced broth mixture to vegetables in food processor; blend until very smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
  • Stir eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper into pureed vegetable mixture until evenly combined; spoon into a buttered 6-cup casserole or souffle dish.
  • Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over low heat; stir in pecans until fragrant and coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread buttered pecans around the edge the vegetable mixture, creating a border. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Bring vegetable mixture to room temperature, about 30 minutes before baking.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from casserole dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puffed, set in the middle, and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
