Mashed Rutabaga with Onions
I have never liked turnip. Or rutabaga. Excuse my ignorance, but the two taste the same to me.
I got a rutabaga in my farm share, though, so I figured I'd better find a way to cook it that might make it palatable. I succeeded. Not only is it palatable, but it's pretty darned tasty. And nutritious, of course!
So here's what I did:
Cover rutabaga with water in a pot, and boil for 10-15 minutes, until tender.
Sauté onions in fat/oil until tender and golden brown.
When rutabaga is cooked, drain and mash. When well mashed, mix in apple cider, onions, and parsley. Ta-da!
And now I have a turnip recipe I like. Yay!

So here's what I did:
- one rutabaga (or turnip), at least the size of a small bowling ball, peeled and chopped
- 1 large onion, sliced in half, then chopped in 1/4" slices
- about 2 Tbsp of cooking fat (bacon fat, coconut oil, or whatever)
- salt and pepper to taste
- about 1/4 cup of apple cider
- a few sprigs of fresh parsley
