Servings: persons

1 large or 2 small rutabagas (about 1 pound)
3 cups water
3/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup white wine
1 hefty pinches peppercorns
1 hefty pinches coriander seeds
1 hefty pinches mustard seeds
2 large (or 4 small) cloves of garlic, peeled and halved
2 chile pods
4 thyme sprigs
4 marjoram sprigs (or 1 pinch dried marjoram)
Salt

1
Peel the rutabagas, then cut them into 1/4-inch slices. If you want a little more stability, cut them in half and then slice them into half-moons.
2
Measure all other ingredients into a medium-size pot. Add enough salt so the liquid tastes salty (but not inedible) -- one generous pinch is a good start. Bring everything to a boil, then simmer for 3 minutes. Be warned: your kitchen will smell like vinegar.
3
Add the rutabaga slices, trying to get all of them submerged. Cook them until they're tender, but not too soft -- a knife should pierce them easily but you don't want them to fall apart. This should take about 15 minutes.
4
Let the slices cool in the liquid. Serve as is, or drizzled with salsa verde -- Alice says they're better the next day, and I agree. You can store them in the liquid for up to a week or so.
5
Note: You can really put anything you like into the cooking liquid. Experiment with other herbs and spices, like fennel seeds, bay leaves, ginger, etc. Express yourself!
