The lowly rutabaga, or swede. It’s tougher than a turnip and a bit bitter. But it keeps for a long time, and while I don’t typically serve just roasted rutabaga, it’s an amazing addition to a medley of roasted vegetables.

It requires a bit of peeling — I take off not just the skin but also the fibrous layer just beneath it

@mxjohnson Mashed rutabagas (a/k/a neeps) are very tasty too and easy to make in an Instant Pot: foreignfork.com/instant-pot-ru

@CloseReach I’m not a fan, unless they’re all fancified and fortified. I had some in Scotland a year ago and I’d bet it was half rutabaga, half cream butter sherry and black currant jam. Delicious!

I think I’m getting rid of my instant pot but not sure yet. So often I still dick around with the finished product, and space is at a premium in my kitchen. What do you use yours for, besides mashed neeps?

Wouldn’t want to be without our Instant Pot and use it to prepare a wide range of foods quickly and easily including rice, dal, soups, stews, steel cut oatmeal, chile verde, risotto, dried beans and chickpeas, congee, mashed potatoes, yogurt, green beans, stock…
