Pureed Swede With Cheesy Crust |
 |
Many people are put off by childhood memories of swede - often confused with turnip.
Yet its yellow-orange flesh can be delicious.
This recipe tops pureed swede with a crunchy cheese and seed crust, to add some variety and extra vitamins.

-
Pre-heat the oven to 200 C.
- Peel the swede with a potato peeler. Chop into chunks about 1 inch in size.
- Boil in a large pan of water for 15 - 20 minutes, until soft.
- Chop the herbs, if using.
- Drain the swede and mash it with the butter, using a potato masher. Add the herbs and season with salt, if needed.
- Put the mashed swede in an oven-proof dish and sprinkle the top with the cheese. Then sprinkle the seeds on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling.
Great with jacket potatoes or as a side dish for a winter meal.

I tried this recipe with celariac. This was the first time I had eaten celariac and it was delicous. Didn't use pumpkin seeds because I didn't have any! Will definately make this again and look forward to having celariac in veggie box again soon. |
