Golden Rutabagas and Shallots
A rutabaga's skin is thick, waxy, and tough, so a paring knife works best for peeling. After peeling, chop the rutabaga in half with a heavy knife or cleaver, then cube, slice, or dice as needed.
5 cups (1-inch) cubed peeled rutabaga (about 1 1/2 pounds) 1 tablespoon butter margarine 12 shallots, peeled and halved 1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth 1/2 cup Madeira wine or dry sherry 2 tablespoons honey 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Place rutabaga in a large saucepan, and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes or until tender. Drain. While rutabaga cooks, melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sauté 2 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken broth, Madeira wine, honey, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 20 minutes). Add rutabaga, fresh thyme, and black pepper to pan; toss gently to coat.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 3/4 cup)
