1 rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1/2-in. cubes (about 7 cups)
4 tbsp canola oil, divided
2 tbsp lemon juice
4 tsp grainy mustard
1/8 tsp salt
fresh pepper
4 cups baby spinach
3 green onions, thinly sliced
500 g mild Italian sausages
1/2 cup water
BOIL a large pot of water over medium-high. Add rutabaga. Boil until tender, 12 to 14 min. Drain and rinse well with cold water.
WHISK 3 tbsp canola oil with lemon juice, grainy mustard and tsp salt in a large bowl. Season with fresh pepper. Add rutabaga, spinach and green onions. Toss until well coated.
HEAT a large frying pan over medium. Add remaining tbsp canola oil, then sausages. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 5 to 6 min. Pour in water. Gently boil, covered, 6 min. Remove lid. Cook until sausages are dark golden, 1 to 2 min per side. Remove from heat. Serve with rutabaga salad.
Packed with vitamin C, iron and fibre, rutabaga is a superfood. To peel it, slice off the top and bottom so it sits flat, then use a knife to slice off the thick skin.
