This is very, very, very good. Pretty high calorie though, so probably not an everyday dish. Probably too high carb for induction, and anyway swede/rutabaga is not on the induction list. Would probably work just as well with turnip though, but I've not tried it.
Swede (UK/Ireland) and Rutabaga (US) are the same thing BTW.
Ingredients
1lb of peeled swede/rutabaga
0.5 small onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
3-4 sprigs of fresh parsley, chopped
4 fl oz cream
4 oz cheddar cheese, grated
Nutmeg, paprika, salt and pepper
Slice the swede into very thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick - it's awkward to work with, but the shape of the slices does not really matter, just the thinness.
In an oven proof dish, put a layer of swede, sprinkle over half of the onion, garlic and parsley and about a quarter or less of the cheese. Repeat. Finish with a another layer of swede.
Season the cream to your own taste, then pour over the swede. Spread the rest of the cheese over the top.
Cover the dish tightly with tinfoil (or a lid) and bake at 170C (about 350F) for 40 mins. Uncover and continue to cook for about 20 mins, or until the top is well browned.
Serves 4.
I used a dish about 9" x 5" which allows three layers.
Here's what it looks like when done - and on my dinner plate this evening, with a homemade burger, mushrooms and broccoli - there is about 13g of net carbs on that plate.
