Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups peeled diced (1/2 inch) rutabagas
- 2 - 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 2 cups peeled diced (1/2 inch) butternut squash
- 2-1/2 cups peeled diced (1/2 inch) red yams or peeled, diced (1/2 inch) leftover baked sweet potatoes
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Pinch each of ground ginger and cinnamon
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 2 cups diced 1/2 inch leftover smoked pork chops or ham
- 1/2 cup Apple and Cider Sauce or maple syrup OR 2 tbsp light or dark brown sugar dissolved in 1/2 cup apple cider
- 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, toss the rutabaga cubes with 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons of the oil or melted butter. Spread them in a large baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.
- In the same bowl, toss the squash and raw yams in the remaining 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons of the oil or butter until well coated (add more oil or butter if necessary to coat thoroughly). Season with salt and pepper, thyme, ginger, and cinnamon and add to the rutabagas along with the onions and diced smoked pork chops or ham. Mix well and bake until all the vegetables are tender. This should take about 45 minutes--test the vegetables as they cook with a skewer or fork. If using leftover sweet potatoes, add them for the last 10 minutes of cooking. Turn over the vegetable-ham mixture occasionally with a spatula.
- When it is done, combine with the Apple and Cider Sauce, maple syrup, or cider and brown sugar and mix until everything is well coated. Sprinkle with the optional shredded cheese.
- Bake for 5 to 10 minutes more, or until the sauce is heated through and the cheese is bubbly. Serve from the baking dish or transfer to a platter.
