Rutabagas are one of those vegetables that I never really thought about before we started the CSA. When we got our first one, I had no idea what to do with it. I opted to make a soup recipe that I found in a veggie cookbook, and I wasn't impressed.
Then I was told by someone at the farm (he must have seen me wrinkle my nose at being handed another rutabaga) that rutabagas sweeten up when they are roasted. He suggested a touch of honey with them. Trying that pretty much kicked off my relationship with rutabagas. I'm a fan now, for sure. The dish has changed a bit, honey switched to maple syrup, a touch of seasoning...but it's still really delicious.
