1 h 20 min
Step 1
Peel and dice the rutabaga into 2cm cubes and add to a large pan of boiling water. Bring to the boil over a medium heat and cook until completely tender – about 40 minutes.Step 2
While the rutabaga is cooking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the ground beef and brown all over. Remove from the pan, leaving the fat and oil in the pan. Reserve to one side.Step 3
Dice the celery and the onion and add to the hot pan, cook gently until softened, then slice and add the garlic.Step 4
Add the oregano and thyme to the pan and stir well.Step 5
Chop the tomato and add to the pan along with the balsamic vinegar and tomato puree. Stir well to combine.Step 6
Return the beef to the pan, season well and stir into the sauce.Step 7
Add the hot stock to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes to infuse the flavors and reduce the sauce.Step 8
Preheat the oven to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the rutabaga is soft, drain and return to a low heat. Add the butter and cheese to the pan with the rutabaga. Season well and mash until smooth.Step 9
Once the beef stock has reduced, spoon the beef and vegetables into an oven proof dish so that it is level.Step 10
Spoon the mash over the top of the mince so that it is smooth and even.Step 11
Transfer to the oven to bake for 20 minutes until the sauce is cooked through and bubbling and the mash is turning golden on top.

It was very good! I used a bit more butter in the mash, though.

This is delicious! Instead of rutabagas I used chayote. It was quite runny and like a thick soup on top but a light flavor. Anyone know how to thicken it up without carbs??

Are rutabagas very bitter? Or am I thinking turnips?
Mony 2 years ago
Rutabagas aren't bitter, mash them with a bit of butter and the texture is very similar to turnips and carrots

P.s. you can cook a whole swede in the microwave for 10 to 20 minutes then its soft inside. Cut the top off and scrape out with a spoon, no mashing needed. It's life changer.

Do you poke it first before putting in microwave?

OMGOODNESS!! Can't wait to try this recipe. Instead of boiling the rutabaga going to pan fry in bacon grease until tender. Gonna be killer with added flavors from bacon not to mention the bits that caramelized in process! I'm gonna be slaying dinner tonight.. 😁

Would also be nice with a layer of green cabbage only soft leaf with cauli on top baked in oven. Could use it to make a lasagne using the cabbage as the pasta topped with cauli and cheese then bake in oven

Looks great. In New Zealand and Australia we call rutabaga Swede, if that helps any one :)

I call them turnips

I'm thinking of making this dish, but I would change the rutabaga for cauliflower mash. That would change the macros

Cauliflower would be a great substitute! Lets us know how you get on!

Being as I am from England and love a good cottage pie... it's a definite must try, the rutabaga sounds delicious!
