Rutabaga Update-NYE
Tried roasting with Brussels sprouts.....VERY GOOD. This is what I did:
washed and cut in 1/2 fresh Brussels sprouts
Peeled and cubed rutabaga
In a large bowl, tossed the Brussels and rutabaga with olive oil, fresh chopped garlic, low sodium soy sauce and sesame seeds
spread on a baking sheet and baked in 450 degree oven until browning.....(not sure how long because I was also drinking a martini so I just kept an eye on it!!)
Very delicious, will definitely have this again.
I think maybe you are thinking of rhubarb? Whi*****identally is also a Northern thing (I believe) (my aunt Jo (from Wisconsin) made rhubarb pies every year)
A rutabaga is a large root-think turnip on steroids- and the "flesh" is light yellow in color, the texture similar to a potato, and the flavor very much like cabbage/cauliflower--I was very surprised at how good it is, and that I had never tried it.
Give it a try and let me know what you think! Now I'm going to scour the veggie department and see what else I've been missing!

I grew up eating Brussels sprouts, parsnips, rutabagas and turnips. Love them!! Glad you enjoy them as well!
