Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon oil approx
- 8 oz smoked bacon 225g, streaky
- 1 onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 10 oz rutabaga 300g swede, 3 cups grated
- 4 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage chopped

- 1 cup breadcrumbs approx 60g/2oz

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F/190C.
- Warm a little oil in a shallow pan over a medium heat and add the roughly chopped bacon. Cook for around 10min, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and it is just starting to brown.
- Add the onion and garlic and cook until starting to soften, around 5min, stirring occasionally.
- Add the rutabaga/swede and cook another 5min, stirring to allow all of the vegetables to soften and be coated in the bacon fat.
- Next add the chopped parsley, sage, thyme and a little salt and pepper, cook for another 5min and remove from the heat.
- Finally, add the breadcrumbs, dates, egg and maple syrup, stir well so everything is mixed through then transfer to a medium oven dish (approx 8x6in/20x15cm) and pack down gently.
- Roast in the oven around 40min until nicely browned on the top.
