Notes

Cook's Tip

Rather than discarding the water the swede is cooked in, Cook without salting the water then use the water to make stock for gravy. Just add a stock cube to the reserved water. The onion flavoured water gives the stock extra flavour.

Leftovers

Can be stored covered in the fridge for a couple of days. Reheat in a microwave.
