Good to know

Swedes long had a reputation as emergency food, yet they taste mild and slightly sweet. With chickpeas and marjoram, they make a stew that warms you up on cold days.

Swaps

Swede → parsnip or celeriac. Chickpeas → cannellini beans. Marjoram → thyme. Potatoes → more swede.

Cooking tips

Peel the swede generously – there's a fibrous layer under the skin. The stew tastes even more rounded the next day.
