Ravishing RUTABAGA . . . and a wonderful but very sad movie

GLAZED RUTABAGA

            (from FOOD & WINE magazine, 1995)

1 large rutabaga (about 2 pounds)

1 tbsp butter

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

3 cups water

·        Peel rutabaga and cut into cubes (about 1 inch).  Put into a large saucepan.

·        Add butter, thyme, salt, pepper, and water.  Cover pot and bring to a boil over high heat.  Lower heat and cook until tender, 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

·        Using a slotted spoon, remove rutabagas to a bowl. 

·        Boil the cooking liquid over high heat (about 3 to 5 minutes) until reduced.

·        Return rutabagas.  Reheat before serving.  YUM!
