ROASTED RUTABAGA
This is a new recipe I discovered this past Thanksgiving. We wanted to try a a new vegetable. I have to admit rutabaga, or yellow turnip as it is sometimes called, was something I wasn't totally wild about trying, but it turned out great. I love it now! Definitely a repeat!

BAKED RUTABAGA TO ACCOMPANY A MEAT DISH
There are certain unfashionable meals I want to slap a preservation order on lest they disappear altogether. Faggots and gravy, traditional Midlands meatballs fashioned from pork innards and belly and wrapped in caul fat, is one such recipe (lardy cake-the name speaks for itself-is another). Pease pudding would be many people's chosen accompaniment; others probably a pile of minted fresh peas. To my mind, the faggot needs a cooling sidekick to soften the blow of the liver and onions. A mash of rutabaga is good, but also this rather more subtle approach.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the rutabaga into slices about 1/8 inch (3mm) thick. It is easier and safer to do this by first cutting a slice from one side to give a flat base as you cut.
- Generously grease a baking dish or roasting pan with some of the butter. Lay the slices of rutabaga and onion in the dish, seasoning them with salt and black pepper, and strewing over the rosemary leaves as you go. Ladle over the stock so that it just about covers the vegetables-a matter of five or so ladlefuls-then dot on the rest of the butter.
- Bake for an hour or so, turning the vegetables in the stock from time to time, until they are tender enough to crush between your fingers. Serve as a side dish, with some of the juices spooned over.
Tips
- Choose the right rutabaga: Look for firm, unblemished rutabagas that are about the size of a grapefruit. Avoid rutabagas that are too large, as they may be tough and woody.
- Peel and cube the rutabaga: Use a sharp knife to peel the rutabaga, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
- Toss the rutabaga with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help the rutabaga to brown and caramelize in the oven.
- Roast the rutabaga at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
- Serve the rutabaga immediately: Roasted rutabaga is best served hot, so it's best to time it so that it's finished cooking just before you're ready to eat.
