About This Recipe
Carrot and rutabaga really complement each other's flavors. If I double this, I try to buy small rutabagas because they are easier to cut into chunks. I have had this recipe for many years and I believe it came from either Gourmet or Bon Appetit. I am just guessing on the preparation time."
Ingredients

o 2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
o 1 lb rutabagas, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
o 3 tablespoons softened butter( a teaspoon of olive or flax oil)
o 1 pinch sugar(MYSELF I WOULD LEAVE OUT OR IF i HAD TO SWEETEN
it would be AGAVE honey )
o salt and pepper

Directions

1. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the carrots and rutabagas for 30 minutes or until tender.
2. Drain and mash by hand or in a food processor until coarse.
3. Blend in butter, a pinch of sugar and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Serve warm.
