I have always eaten them boiled with a bit of butter, sugar. pepper and salt and usually from a can. It occurred to me to try them differently so I sauted an onion and browned ground beef, then I added a can of begas that had been drained and sugar dumped in the can to take away the bitter. After those cooked awhile, I added a package of shredded cabbage (cole slaw mix) and let it steam. WOW ! was it good. Now I am searching recipes for my fresh bega and going to make some type of cassarole similar for the leftover begas. Oh… at the things that you can do with this veggie that is a mystery to most of us. Thanks for the info on why.

Ah, dear swedes. Thanks for this gorgeous recipe. I’m an American girl living in Scotland, and swedes abound!

Because of your amazing recipes, I bought your book this morning.

here in scotland, we call them neeps. like sometimes i make vegan haggis with neeps and tatties [mashed potatoes].
it’s maybe cuter to say in type than in real life. in fact i’m 100% sure of it.

As a englishman now well into his sixties,swedes or rutabaga
have been part of my diet since childhood, I think my first experience was in WW2 in soups and stews, they go with any meal & are great mashed with potatos or roasted with the sunday
lunch (apoligies to vegans) though small word of warning dont eat too many as the cyanide by products can affect your thyroid but I guess it would have to be a heck of a lot :) those who havent tried them dont know what a treat they are missing !!!

Hi! I never comment on blogs, but this time I just HAD to. It’s so cool that you are trying to get rutabaga (kålrot/kålrabi in Norwegian) a better reputation! I lived in the US for one year, and I never had it there even though the family I stayed with ate lots of veggies.

I love this vegetable; you can eat it raw as is, or with some kind of dip (yoghurt, hummus etc), or you can boil in broth and mash it – put in S&P (don’t be afraid to put in lots of fresh ground pepper) and if you’re not vegan – some cream (YUM :) This last simple (!) recipe is one we use for our Christmas dinner together with dried and salted lambribs (not vegan I know, but still nam,nam (norwegian = yum,yum). It’s a real treat!
