You know, I had to try google translate for that thing, and the word rutabaga came up. It sounded crazy so I thought google was pulling my leg![]()
Rutabaga! Really!?
How do you use the pearl barley? Do you make dimples of it?
LOL it's got various names, turnip, tumshie, swede, neeps, rutabaga, rapes, tourns and if you want to go all posh and French with the menu navets.![]()
Looks like a good stew, full of good stuff. We do something similar with the addition of pearl barley .
Turnips and Rutabagas are actually two different (although similar) root veg. Rutabagas are larger, tougher, and the peeled veg has an orangey, reddish color whereas turnips are tenderer and the peeled veg has a whitish color. And turnip greens (the tops) are also eaten whereas rutabaga greens aren't.

Are dimples like dumplings?
With the pearl barley we just boil it in the soup/stew as a thickener and to bulk out the food cheaply. As a kid (and still to this day) it's my favourite part along with the leeks in Scotch broth (Soup).
