Ingredients

  • 34 ounces rutabaga 1 ½ large large cubed
  • 2 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon smoked sea salt Maldon
  • 1 tablespoon chives chopped

Instructions

  • Scrub, peel, slice, and cube the rutabaga into chunks. Tip: large chunks are easier to cut, but small chunks will cook quicker.
  • Place in a medium-size pot, cover with water, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook on medium heat for 20-30 minutes until fork tender.
  • Strain the water from the pot using the lid. Add vegan butter and hand-mash the rutabaga directly in the pot.
  • Stir in the smoked sea salt, adding extra to your taste buds.
  • Heat in the pot until the desired temperature. Stir in half the chives and top with remaining to serve.
