What can I make with...?

[shyvas]

Can't help seeing bs as an acronym for bullsh*t

But, when reading them as butternut squash, they sound delicious! I like the tart idea.

There is a recipe in the Holiday/Festive sub. You could change it by reducing the amount of mushrooms and adding more BS.

I have a swede and don't really know what to do with it, I know I can boil, roast or steam it, but don't know what it goes best with.

Any suggestions?

I really hate swede. But my mum always turns it into a swede and carrot mash. It also makes good stews (or it would, if it were not a devil vegetable).

 

[TreeHugger]

Haha devil vegetable!

Good idea, think I will look up how to make a vegan stew as I have some parsnips I can use as well.

I don't like swedes neither. You could make swede rissoles.

::googles swede:: Oh, rutabaga! Cut in chunks and roasted! http://cookingfortwo.about.com/od/vegetablesandsidedishes/r/roastrutabaga.htm

Or mash with carrots or apples.

How about boiling and mashing with some potato and using as a topping for Sheperds Pie, to add a little something different to just plain potato?

Thanks everyone.

I've decided on a hearty vegetable and barley stew, I've found a few recipe's online and have been picking and choosing bits I like from all of them to make my own. My mum for vegetarian suet for dumplings ages ago so I'm hoping these are vegan, but if not I will have some bread for dippy dipping with it

I'm loving the idea's of having it with mash on sheperds pie and OH MY LORD it does look yummy roasted. Anything tastes better roasted.

What's a swede rissole shyvas? I googled it but coukdn't find a swede version, only beef ones and such. I've never heard of them before. Do you have a recipe?

Nothing better in winter than stew with bread for mopping.

Lots of pears, very ripe. Want to do something quick and easy with them all tonight. Already have a fruit pie in the fridge.

Poached pears with orange are easy.

I have the most ridiculous amount of carrots.

I don't want to make soup with them.

Help. Before I drown in carrots.

Mash 'em with potatoes! Or make carrot cake...

I have these recipes but I haven't tried them out yet, so I can't vouch for them, they're on my to-do list:
Oil free carrot hummus recipe.
Carrot gnocci.
