So, what do you do with rutabaga?

A recipe from Chef David MacLennan of Latitude 41:

  • 4 rutabaga, peeled and diced
  • 2 turnips, peeled and diced
  • 1 ripe pear, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces butter
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • salt and pepper

Boil the rutabaga in salted water for 10 minutes, then add turnips and pears, and cook until all are tender. Drain and let dry for a moment, then transfer to a blender or food processor. Add cream and butter and season with nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste.

We plan to thin this with some broth and use it for a first course for a holiday feast. Any garnish recs? I was thinking creme fraiche and something intense and crispy: fried garlic? fois gras? lardons?
