Leftover semi-glazed root veggies

[Placebo]

I made a huge quantity of mixed root veggies (parships, turnips, rutabagas and golden beets) for the Thanksgiving dinner I went to. The aim was to glaze them but I was in a hurry and running out of pan space so they are more simply braised and sweetened with maple syrup and honey. Turns out that despite the hostesses suggestion of a starch there were already 2 stuffings and mashed potatoes en route and on the whole about 2-3 times more food than we needed. So, I have a huge mass of these guys in my fridge and it's be a shame to let them go to waste.

So, what do I do with them? Ideas I've had so far are:

- Simply mashing them with some cooked garlic as a side dish.

- Mashing them and making galettes upon which I would serve... something?

- A topping for some sort of shepherd's pie type dish.

Any other ideas or suggested accompaniments to the above?

Put 'em whole (diced, I assume) into a galette, as I did here. Brush the bottom of the galette with whole grain mustard, pile in the veggies, pleat and bake. Sprinkle some Stilton or another strong cheese over the top during the last 5-10 minutes of baking.

Chunk up some ham and make a hash.

Soup

Cut them into chunks and use them in a salad. See here for a starting point.

Make Puy lentils as per this recipe or make a warm lentil salad and add the chopped veggies just before serving.

Oh, yeah, the galette looks great. Even if you just mash them, some Stilton would be a wonderful touch.

I was going to say soup, but they might be too sweet for that.

Abra, that sounds wonderful! Great idea!

The gallette looks amazing! If you are feeling lass ambitious, how about making a nice savory risotto and topping it with the veggies.
