Fried Rutabaga

4-stars

Can you believe I have never had rutabaga?  Its true. I have heard of it, and I like the word.. rutabaga, rutabaga, rutabaga, rutabaga.  Its sounds so cool.  But I have never eaten any, I was not even really sure what it looked like.. But once I found out, I had to buy some.  I searched for all sorts of recipes. I found one that looked really good, Potatoes and Rutabaga Gratin.. Yum! Anything with that much cheese has got to be good.  I got it all prepared and ready to go in the oven and my stupid oven is not hot. Its broke, the coil broke in half..  How in the world does that happen?  So I have this huge pan of Gratin and no oven... Darn it, I wanted to try Rutabaga so bad.  So I put the pan in the fridge and start thinking of something else to make for dinner.  I did have some rutabaga left over that did not fit, so I chopped them up smaller and decided to fry them in some EVOO and garlic..  So yum! I dont think you can go wrong cooking anything in a pan with garlic.  But I was very pleased with this little snack!  Next time I will add some onion I think, maybe even bell pepper.
