Rutabaga Puff or Souffle.
Peel and cube enough Rutabaga to equal about 4 cups. Boil until tender. Mash well. Mix in about 3 Tablespoons of Brown Sugar, about a half-stick of butter and mix well. Add 4 eggs and beat up real nice and fluffy. (I use the wire whip with my KA mixer for this.) Then fold in about 1/2-2/3 cup of ham shavings or a nice slice of baked ham chopped up and 2 cups of soft fresh bread crumbs. (For the ham, I use those little slivers that always accumulate when you have a baked ham, which this nearly always accompanies. Add a sprinkle of nutmeg (well, I am a nutmeg kinda guy, so it is more than a sprinkle.) You can also add a bit of orange zest, too, if you like that. I do. Bake for about 35-40 Min until puffed and lightly brown.
If you dont tell them what this dish is, many people will like this who swear they dont like Rutabagas. I have had them take me back to the kitchen to show me which dish they were talking about when I was asked what it was and I told them it was Rutabagas, exclaiming all the while, "No, it's not Rutabagas, I dont like them!!"
