Say ‘swede’ and most people think of ‘bashed neeps’ with haggis on Burn’s Night but this creamy, orange-fleshed vegetable has a wonderful nutty, sweet flavour that is perfect with the Sunday roast.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients
1 small to medium-sized swede, about 700g
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
4 rashers smoked streaky bacon, about 125g
Small bunch fresh chives, optional
50g butter
Instructions
Peel the swede and cut into large chunks. Drop into a pan of boiling, lightly salted water and cook, uncovered, for 15-20minutes or until very tender.
While the swede is cooking grill the bacon until crispy. Leave to cool a little then chop quite roughly. Roughly chop the chives if using.
Drain the swede and mash with the butter and pepper until smooth. Serve straight away with a little of the crispy bacon and chives sprinkled on top.
Tips:
If you have trouble dicing a hard swede continue peeling after you have removed the outside skin. Peel it right down to the centre core, which you can then slice like a carrot. Thin swede peelings will cook a lot quicker than hard cubes.
Replace the bacon with thinly sliced salami. Grill till crisp as above.
Cook the bacon in the microwave. Put the rashers on a double sheet of kitchen paper and cook on high for 1 minute. Now cook in bursts of 15 seconds until the bacon is crispy.
For a simple supper dish serve the buttered swede with a softly poached egg on top.
