Buttery Mashed Swede (Rutabaga Mash Recipe)
Try this simple Buttery Mashed Swede recipe for a quick and tasty side dish. With minimal ingredients, the full earthy flavour of Swedish turnips (also known as rutabaga) is allowed to shine. And let's be honest, there is very little in life that doesn't benefit from a dash of butter!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 500 g Swede (Rutabaga)
- 2 tsp Fine/Table Salt
- 25 g Butter
- 1 tsp Sea Salt Flakes
- Cracked Black Pepper - optional
Instructions
- Put a kettle on to boil.
- Weigh out roughly 500g Swede.
- Peel the swede and slice off the very top and root.
- Cut into 2cm/1" chunks - make sure they're all roughly a similar size.
- Place into a saucepan along with 2 tsp Fine Salt.
- Cover the swede with the boiling water from the kettle.
- Boil for around 15 minutes or until the swede is tender all the way through. Use a sharp knife in the middle of the biggest chunk to check. They're better overboiled than underboiled.
- Drain the water and then allow the swede to sit and steam for a minute or two. This will allow any remaining water to evaporate off.
- Add 25g Butter and 1 tsp Sea Salt Flakes .
- Either use a potato masher or stick blender to mash the swede. The masher will give chunkier results and the blender will make a smoother mash.
- Continue to mash or blend until the butter has melted and the mash is smooth(ish). I've left this one more on the chunky side.
- Serve with cracked black pepper if you wish.
