Mashed Rutabaga

Consider this as a healthier option than mashed potatoes. CATEGORY: Vegetables Recipe Name: Mashed Rutabaga Ingredients: 3 medium rutabaga 3/4 c butter 1 c milk 1 t salt 1 t pepper Steps: * freeze and thaw rutabaga * peel and thinly slice rutabaga * bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes until rutabaga is translucent * mix in food processor until mostly smooth * heat milk and butter until steam appears *slowly mix salt, pepper, milk and butter into rutabaga * serve NOTES: * without freezing and thawing rutabaga is next to impossible to cut. * Using your food processor to grate the rutabaga may be preferred to slicing it. * The final product will have some stringyness to it. Though most who have tried this have liked it despite it being rutabaga * It has a sweet and rich flavor, kind of like a cross between mashed potatoes and mashed yams.
