| Hey everyone. I was hoping people could give me ideas on how to use rutabagas. Recipes websites anything would be useful. Maybe things that are kid friendly as well.

| We usually just boil ours with butter and salt added. Sometimes we mash them up with potatoes(about 50/50) or boil them with ham or salt pork then mash them. No matter how we do it they are always good. Ken

| Try the earlier posted recipe for cornish pasties, you can substitute more Rutabagas for the potatoes if you like.

| There are godzillions of recipes on the web, I just searched SWEDE and I got recipes from all over the world. It looks like the rest of the world uses the English (Swede) spellling rather than the American (Rutabaga)

We like our swedes baked, roasted, boiled, mashed and smashed. We also cut them in cubes, boil them then stir fry them with lots of garlic and butter - delicious!!!
Oh yes, they all go wonderfully in stews and soups - or grated raw in salads.
I've never tried baking with them - yet.

| We also cut ours up into fry shape and call them turnip fries (though they are really rutabagas) Lots of butter and pepper make these irrisistable.

Hi. One of my favorite websites for recipes is a veggie venture. http://kitchen-parade-veggieventure.blogspot.com/
That website had several recipes that sound delicious.
The Leek and Veggie Gratin recipe and the Mashed Rutabaga and Apple recipe sound particularly good. I haven't tried them personally but I think I will this fall.
So far I have only had rutabagas mashed with butter and salt and pepper. I really liked them but my kids weren't as thrilled but they did eat it.
The rest of that website has lots of other yummy recipes. It's a goldmine.
Hope you find something that you enjoy.

| Thats excellent thank you. My kids are starting to eat different things. I have actually given them no choice as there has just been too much waste.

Oh the wonderful rutabagas. It's one of those down to earth (no pun intended) vegetables that really doesn't need endornment. The cabbagy taste (for it is one of the brassicias) is a long time favorite (despite the often negative opionions of the "smell"). Boil it, mash it, butter it...then serve. Sublime.
Of course it you have an abudance then you need to find a way to use it up. Chop it, shred it and use it anyway you would cabbage.
