  • 4 lbs fresh rutabaga
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instruction

  • 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.
