The creation of this recipe is a pretty interesting tale. Well, I find it interesting, anyway… I actually came up with the name before I even formulated the recipe itself. I had purchased a very large rutabaga, and only managed to use a portion of it. So, I had all this leftover rutabaga, and I was trying to come up with some new and interesting ways to use it when the name suddenly popped into my head – “Rutabagels!!” I know, I know, I’m just too clever… or too cheesy… or maybe both.
