Sauteed Yellow Turnips (Swede or Rutabaga)

"This is our absolute favorite way of eating Rutabaga. Had it done this way in a Mennonite Restaurant in St. Jacobs, Ontario and I was hooked. Try it, you won't be disappointed! (Use your food processor for the grating to save time!)"

  1. Wow! This was SOOO good! What a nice change from 'boring old yellow turnips'. Added some onions, too. Will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing!<br/><br/>**Just made it again - fried up some slab bacon & threw it in..... to die for - literally!
     
  2. I adore this and DH likes it too. I do add some chopped onion, like a few others do, which I cut pretty small in the blender because grating it doesn't work very well. I think I use extra butter and have replaced it with olive oil before which was good as well. This is the first rutabaga recipe I've tried and I fell in love. Definitely will make this again.
     
  3. I loved this! I had never cooked rutabaga and I had only eaten it as a part of roasted root vegetables. My large rutabaga gave me 5 shredded cups, and I cooked it in 3 tablespoons butter. I seasoned lightly with salt and pepper, and I used maple flakes--crystallized maple syrup--in place of the brown sugar.
     
  4. These are marvelous and buttery and very autumnal - but they do take a long time to cook and they do require a LARGE pan.
     
  5. I made this using just one large rutabaga and my husband and I are also hooked. I did use my food processor for the grating, which made it not only fast but much easier as well. The flavor was fantastic...kind of sweet with cabbage and turnip undertones. My sauteing time was about 15-20 minutes and I used sea salt and freshly grated black pepper. Great recipe for this neglected, but delicious, vegetable! Thanks MarieAlice :)
