Rutabaga Egg Nests Recipes

RUTABAGA FRIES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine rutabaga spears with oil and spices, and toss until evenly coated.
• Lay rutabaga spears onto a baking sheet, leaving space between
• Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the rutabaga spears halfway through; they should be cooked through and crisped on the outside

RUTABAGA EGG NESTS

Steps:

• Peel your rutabaga. Roughly chop then send the rutabaga through a food processor with the shredding attachment. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a cheese grater.
• Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of bacon fat and minced garlic.
• In a bowl, mix together rutabaga and sliced onion. Place in skillet, spread out in pan and press down. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then use a spatula to flip the rutabaga.
• When the rutabaga is almost done cooking, use a spoon to make a spot in the middle of the shredded rutabaga to crack your egg into. A nice little nesting area for the egg.
• Crack your egg into the middle of the rutabaga. To cook your egg perfectly, grab a lid and pour in just a tablespoon of water into the pan and cover. Let cook for a minute or two until egg is cooked to your preference.
• I did this in 4 batches with all the rutabaga I shredded.
• Top with a bit of parsley.
• It's like you're eating naughty hash browns. Genius.

EASY EASTER NESTS

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a small bowl placed over a pan of barely simmering water. Pour the chocolate over the shredded wheat and stir well to combine.
• Spoon the chocolate wheat into 12 cupcake cases and press the back of a teaspoon in the centre to create a nest shape. Place 3 mini chocolate eggs on top of each nest. Chill the nests in the fridge for 2 hrs until set.
