Swede (yellow inside one), other than mashed or cubed what else can you do with it!

[flowerpot1000000]

I have a few of these and have boiled and mashed some lunch today but got thinking what else can you do with it

Use it in soup or stews

I've cut them like chips and roasted them in oil/lard - really nice with sausages.

Still mashed - but 50/50 with mashed potato, using butter and black pepper then as a topping for cottage or shepherds pie.

Same 50/50 mixture but rolled with haggis (if liked) with breadcrumbs for croquettes

Roasted with plenty of seasoning, salt pepper and herbs.

In a veg soup with onion and celery.

Good in a mixed stew/ casserole. If make one without swede there's something missing!

You could cube and roast with other veg. It can take a lot of spice too.

Cornish pasty!

Like the idea of a topping for a shepherds pie and soup. Thank yoi

Nuke them for 20 mins in a microwave and they won't even need boiling and then mashing.

Saves having to chop and peel the damn thing.

Mash them with carrot with lots of butter and black pepper.

A variation on cubed:
add honey
add onion, grated horseradish and orange rind

Parboil equal quantities of swede, carrot and parsnip; then stirfry.

@dUHcknotdOOk sorty for being dense but do you just put the whole thing in as it comes? I avoid buying swede even though i like it because i can't bear the prep!

Yep. Stab it once or twice, stick it in a bowl cos it gets really sticky on the outside and nuke it for 20 mins. Slice the top off and scoop it out.

Tasty and job done.

It makes a racket like an old fashioned kettle boiling on the hob though so be warned.

This is for a family size one- if you're cooking one of the smaller single serving size ones you might want to cook it for less.

We call that a Singing Hinny round here because of the noise it makes!

Is it just me that is thinking about all these things being done to a poor innocent Swedish person who is trying to run away from your kitchen? Put Sven down! (I'll get my coat...)

@cleanhousewastedlife I always have to adjust my comprehension too when people say Swede. Run Sven, run!

I love it chopped i cubes and roasted in the oven
