Simplicity is key to this, you just need a frost sweetened swede and a little butter an nutmeg.  It will bring this hardy vegetable to life!

Serves 4-6 as a side

1 swede (500g), peeled and cut into 2cm cubes

30g butter

1 Tbsp oil

White pepper

Freshly ground nutmeg

Salt

Method

Put a suitable sized pot on with plenty of water and a pinch of salt and bring to the boil.

When boiling add the cubed swede and cook until just tender (8-10 minutes), drain immediately.

Place the butter and oil in a large fry pan and heat over medium heat until the butter starts to froth, add the swede and cook so that the swede starts to go golden.  Add the pepper, nutmeg and salt and continue cooking until the swede cubes have become caramelised and golden.

Serve as a side alongside almost anything.
