Mashed Rutabaga with Garlic Herb Butter
1 large rutabaga, peeled & chopped
2 Tbsp butter or ghee, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbsp milk or unsweetened plant-based milk
salt & pepper, to taste
pinch red pepper flakes, optional
-
Place chopped rutabaga in a pot with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, cover & cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes.
While rutabaga boils, add 1 tablespoon of butter to a small skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the garlic & herbs. Sauté for 3-4 minutes. Turn off heat & set aside.
Drain rutabaga, return to pot & mash with remaining tablespoon of butter & milk using a potato masher. Alternatively, place in a food processor & process until smooth & creamy. Add garlic herb butter mixture along with salt & pepper to taste. Mash or process again until just combined.
Transfer to a serving dish & garnish with a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
