Thanks for posting, teresaw! I had meant to come back with an update and forgot. I tried these par boiled and did not like them as well that way. I probably did them too long because they turned out more mushy. To me they are just as easy to just cut and saute. I like the turnips <almost> as well, but they have quite a bit less carbs than the rutabaga. Radishes are pretty good done up like this as well, but it's hard to cut up those tiny things.
