HOW TO...Prepare Swede/Rutabaga

[@RisuCrackers81]

Thanks for this. I bought a swede on Saturday and I plan on having it for my tea today, so this is a lot of help!

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Hope it goes well 👍

LOVE THAT WITH BOILED DINNER !

Good presentation, swedes/turnips are greatly under-appreciated as a vegetable, they're tastier than potatoes. If u take the peelings, chop them up into small pieces, & scatter them in the garden at the base of flowers they make a great source of compost for them.

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Loving your thoughts and advice on sustainability I’ll try that out thanks 👍👍

[@SnowdropWood]

Very helpful, thank you. I'll be making vegetable soup today, and now I can include some swede. :) p.s. Cute kitty drawling in the background made me laugh!

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Glad you enjoyed the video, enjoy your soup 👍

in swedish "kålrot" directly translated Cabbage root. Or with diffrent dialects "rabba"

I hate these things as I struggle to slice them, but stupidly buy one occasionally when I see a good price. Always regret it though. I tend to slice it into discs then peel around the edges....eventually. I do wonder how on Earth I hollowed them out as a kid, to use as Halloween lanterns. Never saw pumpkins back then ( 60s / 70s)

[@TheFlatCapChef]

They are a bit of a nightmare you need a really sharp knife and some arm strength but it’s worth it in the end 😂👍

[@amandadavies..]

@@TheFlatCapChef I don't have great arm strength unfortunately

[@raysalter2270]

It is also called rutabaga in the US and bryukva (брюква) in Russia

Thank you for this!

[@yougottabekidding7476]

In England I just bought a big swede - several of them, in fact, for 50p each!

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Great value and delicious too 👍

[@neilpickup237]

Where I grew up, swede was called turnip, and turnip was white turnip. As for preparation, I find it far easier to slice first and then peel.

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Whatever works for you FYI turnips are typically small and white, often misnamed

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Same for me on the language my family used and if you want to peel it after each to their own, I just find it easier the other way round 👍

[@cannonsavage741]

In the US we call this a rutabaga

[@missbee9140]

Did you feed the cat?

[@adamchurvis1]

I bought one swede yesterday here in Atlanta that was this size almost exactly. Sold by the pound, mine cost exactly $5.00. Not as inexpensive as they once were.

[@TheFlatCapChef]

That is quite expensive but every now and then why not they are delicious 👍

[@adamchurvis1]

@@TheFlatCapChef Absolutely! I made a gratin using this one, and we all loved it.

[@RyoHazuki1]

I'm surprised by the price, they're under £1 when in season here.

[@vicvinegarDebo]

They are currently 20 pence in the UK at sainsburys and asda (formerly walmart) big and tasty, shame I couldn't freeze them but they go weird after being frozen

[@samip5734]

What is that type of large knife called?

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Hi it’s usually called a Japanese Knife or a Santoku 👍

[@hazelb7218]

where is the follow up video for Swede please?

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Ok I will put one up soon 👍

[@cadalot58]

@@TheFlatCapChef Ummm can't find your cooking one yet?

[@martinholme3816]

When diced can put it in a stew/casserole along with carrots

[@gaggymott9159]

In Northern Ireland, this is NEVER called Swede...We always, and obviously WRONGLY call this TURNIP! That said, If you love the prep for tomorrow, or the PURE prep Guinness.....GORGEOUS! 🤯🤯🤯

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Guinness perfect 👍

Shame the camera missed you peeling. A bigger view would be better.

Will bear that in mind thanks 👍
