Method

Roasting the Rutabaga

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the rutabaga

    Peel and cut the rutabaga into 1-inch cubes. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Roast the rutabaga

    Spread the rutabaga cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden and tender.

Making the Vinaigrette

  1. 4

    Combine ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Preparing the Crème Fraîche

  1. 5

    Mix crème fraîche

    In a bowl, mix the crème fraîche with the finely chopped preserved lemon and a pinch of salt.

Frying the Sage

  1. 6

    Fry sage leaves

    In a small skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add sage leaves and fry until crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 7

    Assemble the dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the roasted rutabaga, drizzle with lemon vinaigrette, dollop with preserved lemon crème fraîche, and garnish with fried sage and fresh thyme.
