To not have a clue to do

[Jackreacherswife]

With the swede that came in my Morrison's wonky veggie box. The only thing that comes to mind is boiling it with carrots and then mashing it all up with butter. (Which reminds me of living at home and tastes rank) How can I have reached 37 and never found a use for it? Please help me make the veg of doom at least taste palatable if not enjoyable

Swede chips are yummy

Add to soup that has other ingredients. That's pretty much all I ever do with swede, and in that context, I like the small variety it provides in winter soups.
I probably buy about three a year for this!

I've always wanted to do singing suede, you microwave it and cut the top off and scoop out (it whistles while its cooking hence the 'singing' name).

Either that or chuck it in a couple of casseroles.

Singing sweede, delicious with lots of black pepper!

The hairy bikers do something, where they pack the outside with salt, then bake it in the oven.

I keep meaning to do it, but haven't got round to it yes because I never ever buy swede 😂

Chop it and an onion into really small cubes, get some short crust or filo pastry and make yourself a pasty / greek pie type of thing.

Love it mashed with lots of black pepper and a touch of yogurt

Not the HB, but in a similar vein

Mae a dauphinoise style dish with it - swede, sweet potato and butternut layered with garlic, seasoning and cream. Bake in the oven until browned and bubbling (and veg cooked)

Cut into cubes, and toss in olive oil, salt and pepper, cumin and a little chilli powder, with a drizzle of honey. Roast. Try not to eat the whole pan in one sitting by yourself.

katmarie that sounds delicious. Reckon it would work for with Christmas dinner if I left the chilli out (only because it wouldn’t go with the other veg!)

Put it in a veggie curry.

Make a gratin by thinly slicing swede and sweet potato. Layer it with garlic, cream and cheese. It helps to par boil the swede before you layer up as it will cook at a different rate to the sweet potato. It looks and tastes great when it's done.

Let it fester for a bit then throw it at a mummer.

Do you have fussy eater children?! I made swede scones from a fussy eater cookbook (think it was Annabelle karmel). They were actually pretty nice. Kids ate them without knowing a thing.
