hashbrowns - Rutabaga

Ingredients

  • 1 medium rutabaga, peeled and grated
  • 1 large zucchini, trimmed and grated (you can leave the skin on)
  • 1 medium parsnip, peeled and grated
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (I used a mix of parsley and fresh dill; cilantro is also nice)
  • 6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil, preferably organic
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable broth or stock
  • fine sea salt, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

If you have a food processor, now is the time to use it: grate the rutabaga, zucchini, parsnip and onion using the medium grater blade. Otherwise, grate all the vegetables on the medium holes of a box grater.

Place the grated vegetables, herbs, garlic and oil in a large nonstick frypan (a cast iron pan is great for this recipe). Pour the broth evenly over the top and stir to mix. Turn the heat on to medium-high and allow to cook until the mixture begins to sizzle and cook on the edges, 10-15 minutes. Stir the vegetables to distribute any browned bits evenly throughout.

Cover the pan and lower the heat to medium-low. Allow to cook undisturbed another 10-15 minutes, then check to see if the veggies have begun to form a brown crust on the bottom. If they have, stir once more and then cook again another 10-15 minutes, until cooked throughout and crusty in spots. Scoop and serve. Makes 6-8 servings. May be frozen.
