Photo: Mashed Rutabagas Recipe
Ingredients
- About 1/2 pound streak-o'-lean, cut into chunks
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 rutabaga
- Pinch sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
Directions
Wash and cut streak-o'-lean to your liking. *Cook's Note: You can use ham hocks, smoked wings or even cut up bacon.
Place in a pot with enough water to cook the meat; add pinch of salt to water. Allow to come to a boil, about 15 minutes.
*Cook's Note: the water will cook out, so it might be necessary to add more during cooking.
Peel rutabagas and cut into 1/2-inch slices, then cut into cubes. Add rutabaga to the meat. Add sugar, salt and pepper. Cover pot and cook until tender, about 45 minutes. When done remove some water from the pot. Mash, add butter and season, to taste.

I cooked the rutabagas with smoked turkey but added diced onions, garlic powder, lemon pepper and pouch of Swanson Flavor Boost 100% Concentrated Chicken stock. These additions enhanced the flavor. The mashed rutabagas were even better the second day.

I so enjoy mashed rutabagas and these were just great. I have a tip that has worked well for me for quite a number of years.
Rinse waxed rutabagas in cold water and wrap in two paper towels. Put in microwave. Cook 4 min to soften the wax for peeling or 8-10 or until done, then proceed with your favorite recipe. The Wax will absorb into paper towels. I usually change the wet paper towels one time and never walk away from he mw. So simple and a great shortcut. Tillett1
