Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 large rutabaga about 8 cups cubed
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Choose a rutabaga that's firm with no soft spots. They're covered in a wax coating to guard against damage during transport.
- For a large rutabaga, choose a large knife. For a smaller one, a paring knife is sufficient for peeling. Cut off both ends so the rutabaga will sit flat for peeling.
- Remove all the peeling and wax coating.
- Cut into one inch cubes.
- Add to a pot and cover with cold water. Add butter, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cover and bring to boil. Simmer on medium for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Taste for seasoning. Serve warm.
