Irish Rutabagas(Swedes or Yellow Turnips) With Caramelized Onion image

Turnips became popular in Ireland as human food during the great famine and have remained popular. I especially like this combination of turnip and onion. Easy and economical to serve. For my way of cooking this recipe has far too much butter & oil. I would use a "No OIl" spray for the onions and perhaps 1 tbsp of butter. _ I love butter and I love the flavor it gives but------------------

Honeyed Rutabaga With Caramelized Onions image

This is from Bon Appetit October 1997. I just love rutabagas and occasionally use them in place of potatoes in soups and stews. Peeling and cutting one is an adventure if you haven't done it before. A harp-type vegetable peeler is the best assault weapon for peeling and cutting the beast takes a sharp and heavy knife.

Tips for Making Rutabagas with Caramelized Onions:

- Choose small to medium-sized rutabagas, as they tend to be sweeter and have a more tender texture. - Peel the rutabagas thoroughly to remove any tough or bitter skin. - Cut the rutabagas into uniform-sized chunks or wedges to ensure even cooking. - To prevent the rutabagas from becoming watery, roast them at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for a shorter amount of time. - For caramelized onions with a deep, rich flavor, cook them slowly over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown. - Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or white wine to the caramelized onions to enhance their sweetness and complexity. - For a crispy and flavorful topping, sprinkle some chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, over the roasted rutabagas and caramelized onions. - Serve the rutabagas with caramelized onions as a side dish to roasted meats, poultry, or fish, or as a vegetarian main course.
