Five Spice Rutabaga - Delicious, Easy Healthy

Five-Spice Rutabaga

Natalie’s five spice rutabaga or “invention is the mother of necessity” creation came to be after a farm share pick up that had more turnips and rutabagas than she knew what to do with. The natural sweetness comes from the steamed rutabaga. In addition, Turnips or cauliflower can be substitutee. Indeed, all are in the brassica family, but there’s nothin’ like a sweet rutabaga!
