Rutabaga Ham (Griljerad Kalrot)
- 1 large rutabagas (use 1 for the best presentation if you're lucky enough to have access to a giant, Nerf football-size) or 4 small rutabagas (use 1 for the best presentation if you're lucky enough to have access to a giant, Nerf football-size)
- 12 cup onion, chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon whole allspice
- 1 tablespoon salt
- water or vegetable broth, to cover
- 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard (Swedish if you can get it)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Peel the rutabagas, removing any bad spots.
- Stud rutabagas with at least six whole cloves each (more if using a single large rutabaga).
- Place in a medium saucepan and add just enough water or vegetable broth to cover.
- Stir in chopped onion, bay leaves, allspice, and salt.
- Bring pot to a fast boil, reduce to low heat, and simmer until rutabagas are fork-tender but still firm (1-2 hours, depending upon size).
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Remove rutabagas from pot and rinse with cold water; pat dry with paper towels.
- Mix together mustard and egg and, using a pastry brush, paint entire surface of each rutabaga with mixture.
- Combine breadcrumbs and brown sugar in a shallow dish; roll rutabagas in crumbs until well covered.
- Add additional cloves if desired.
- Place rutabagas in oven-safe pan; roast until golden brown (10 to 15 minutes).
