SO HOW'D IT GO?

i crossed this recipe with the unbeef stew II recipe (basically i made this and added a little worchestershire, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, thyme and rosemary). it took more like an hour and a half for everything to get soft but it was worth the wait. very, very yummy, warm and comforting. btw, i left out the "steak"... i can only afford that stuff when there's a 2 for 1 sale! but it was great without it!

A root vegetable that originated as a cross between the cabbage and the turnip :D

What is a "swede"?

LOL I was thinking the same thing. My bf suggested we use one of the swedes he works with, but he said they're pretty tall. Good thing it's a rutabaga.
