Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb Rutabagas
1/2 cup heavy whipping Cream
¼ tsp Nutmeg
½ tsp Salt
2 Eggs
2 tbsp molasses
½ tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp ground Ginger
¼ cup Breadcrumbs
3 tbsp Butter (cold)

Steps:

  • Peel the rutabagas and cut them into large chunks. Then, cook the rutabagas. You can do this by boiling them in salted water for about 35-40 minutes OR you can cook them in the Instant Pot. To cook them in the Instant Pot, place the rutabaga pieces on the trivet and then pour 2 cups of water into the pot. Cook on HIGH for 10 minutes with a 10 minute natural release.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • When the rutabagas are cooked, drain them, then mash them with a potato masher.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, nutmeg, salt, eggs, molasses, cinnamon, ground ginger, and breadcrumbs together. Then, mix that into the mashed rutabagas.
  • Spray a 8x8 pan with nonstick spray, then pour the rutabaga mixture into the pan.
  • Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top. You can use your spoon or a knife to create a design on the top of the casserole.
  • Slice the butter into 9 equal squares, and place the butter on top of the breadcrumbs so that it will melt during baking.
  • Bake the casserole for about 1 hour. Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy!

Finnish Rutabaga (Swedes) Casserole image

I'm posting this for ZWT3. I've not made it but it seems a nice preparation of rutabagas or swedes as some of you call them. This is from Florence Schwartz's "Vegetable Cooking of all Nations".

Provided by Acerast

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium rutabagas, peeled and diced (about 6 cups)
water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup breadcrumbs, fine and dry
1/4 cup cream
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Place the diced rutabagas in a saucepan and cover with water and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer until rutabagas are soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Drain and mash the rutabagas.
  • Meanwhile, soak the bread crumbs in the cream.
  • To the cream add the nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and beaten eggs.
  • Combine the cream mixture with the mashed rutabagas.
  • Butter a 2-1/2 quart casserole dish.
  • Turn the rutabagas into the casserole and dot with the butter.
  • Bake at 350F for 1 hour or until lightly browned on top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rutabaga: Look for firm, smooth rutabagas with no blemishes or bruises. A good rutabaga should feel heavy for its size.
  • Peel and cube the rutabaga: Use a sharp knife to peel the rutabaga, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
  • Boil the rutabaga: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the rutabaga cubes. Boil for 10-12 minutes, or until the rutabaga is tender-crisp.
  • Drain and mash the rutabaga: Drain the rutabaga cubes in a colander, then mash them with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
  • Add other ingredients: Stir in the butter, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a baking dish: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish, then pour the rutabaga mixture into the dish.
  • Bake the casserole: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  • Serve the casserole: Serve the casserole hot, with your favorite toppings. Suggested toppings include melted butter, sour cream, or crumbled bacon.

Conclusion:

Baked rutabaga casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
