Cooking Rutabaga In Pressure Cooker Recipes

INSTANT POT® RUTABAGA MASH

Steps:

• Pour water into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and set the trivet inside. Place rutabaga into a steamer basket and set inside the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain rutabaga. Return rutabaga to pot or place into a medium bowl.
• Add half-and-half, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the rutabaga and mash to desired consistency. The rutabaga will have a chunky texture. For a smoother texture, use a food processor. Serve warm.

HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT RUTABAGA

Steps:

• Peel the rutabaga with a vegetable peeler.
• Carefully cut the whole rutabaga in half with a sharp knife, and then cut the halves into 2 inch cubes.
• Place the cubes of rutabaga into a bowl filled with cold water as you peel and cube it to keep it from browning.
• Place a steamer basket or silicone sling into the bottom of the Instant Pot inner pot.
• Drain the cubes rutabaga in a colander and run cold water over the pieces to remove all of the food grade wax pieces.
• Pour the cubed rutabaga into the Instant Pot inner pot.
• Twist the lid on and set the valve to the sealing position.
• Press the manual button and set the pressure cooking time to 4 minutes.
• When the timer goes off allow the to steam to naturally release for 10 minutes. Twist the valve to the releasing position and allow any remaining steam to release.
• Carefully twist the IP lid off and lift it away from your face to prevent a steam burn.
• Lift the silicone sling by the handles and transfer the cooked rutabaga to a bowl by tilting the silicone sling or steamer basket (if using) over a large bowl. If you have used the trivet that came with the Instant Pot you will need to use a large spoon to transfer the cooked rutabaga pieces to the bowl.
• Use the cooked rutabaga in your recipe.
• Makes about 5 cups cubes cooked, cubed rutabaga.

RUTABAGA

Steps:

• 1. Cut off each end of the rutabaga. Remove the waxy peel by carefully cutting down the sides of the vegetable. Once peeled, cut rutabaga into 1 inch cubes. Place cubed rutabaga into a medium-sized pot. Fill with cold water and sprinkle with kosher salt. Place pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Turn heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer for 2 - 3 hours (see note), until rutabaga reaches a rich orange color and easily splits into two pieces when pierced with a fork. Remove from heat and drain water. Season with freshly-ground black pepper. The rutabaga can be eaten as is, sprinkled with freshly-ground black pepper, or mashed and topped with a little butter - my father-in-law's favorite way to enjoy rutabaga. Note: Cooking times differ - my rutabaga has been done in as little as 1 1/2 hours, and taken as long as 3 1/2 hours. I check for doneness periodically. The rutabaga reaches its best flavor once it's fork-tender and deep in color.

INSTANT POT® PEPPERY RUTABAGA

Steps:

• Combine rutabaga and water in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 7 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain rutabaga in a colander and return to Instant Pot®. Select Saute function. Cook on low until rutabaga starts to sizzle, about 5 minutes. Cancel Saute mode. Season with brown sugar, butter, and pepper. Use an immersion blender to mash rutabaga until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

SOUTHERN CABBAGE FOR THE PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• Chop cabbage into 1- to 2-inch pieces.
• Cook bacon in an open 8-quart pressure cooker over medium heat until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Do not crisp the bacon unless you just like it that way. Add butter and stir until melted.
• Place the chopped cabbage into the pot and pour in chicken broth. Add salt and black pepper to taste and toss the cabbage until coated.
• Secure the lid to your pressure cooker, place the regulator on top (depending on the type of pressure cooker you have), and turn the heat up to high. When the regulator begins to rock or the cooker reaches full pressure, lower the heat to maintain a gentle rocking motion (15 pounds per square inch). Cook for 3 minutes.
• Immediately remove the cooker from the heat and use the quick-release method recommended by your cooker's manufacturer to reduce the pressure. Transfer cabbage to a serving dish and serve hot.

JEN'S PRESSURE COOKER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Season roast with salt and pepper on all sides; coat roast with flour (reserve leftover flour for gravy).
• Melt shortening in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Brown roast on all sides in hot shortening. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the roast. Pour in at least two cups of water; use 1 to 2 cups more if the beef is a tough cut or to reach the minimum amount recommended by the pressure cooker's manufacturer.
• Seal the lid and bring the cooker up to full pressure over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, maintaining full pressure, and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Release the pressure and test for doneness; the meat should be fork-tender. Add potatoes and onions, making sure the vegetables are submerged in the cooking liquid. (You may need to rearrange the roast on top of the vegetables or add more water.) Seal the lid and return the pressure cooker to full pressure.
• Reduce heat to low, maintaining full pressure, and cook for 10 minutes. Release the pressure; transfer meat and vegetables to a serving platter.
• To make gravy, bring the cooking liquid to a boil. Whisk reserved flour into 1/2 cup cold water; whisk the flour mixture into the boiling broth. Cook until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Serve gravy with pot roast and vegetables.
