Swede

We got a swede in the veg box and I can't think of anything to do with it except mash or soup, both of which seem far too wintry. Does anybody have any inspiration?

It is a bit of a wintry veg... We always cooked it in chunks, mixed with chopped onion and some bits of carrot, seasoned with caraway.

It can be quite nice raw, grated in a salad or coleslaw perhaps. Or cut into matchsticks for a stirfry?

I grate it into salads and it does make a really nice addiction to coleslaw.

also good grated with a carrot then doused in a dressing of lemon juice, good oil, garlic, coriander, chilli and cardamom.

it freezes pretty well as mash.. so if you get stuck you could always do tht

This has been sitting in my tab bar for a week or so, but I haven't had a swede for a few weeks to try it!

Is Israeli couscous in any way different from normal couscous?
