I wrap it in tin foil and cook like Jacket potatoes, not for as long though.

And heres what i finally did with it...i roasted it with sweet potato in olive oil and palm fruit extract...then put it in the food processor and blitzed it...the idea being there was tons of it...and i wanted to freeze the rest..and the result for my first venure into this weird looking veg...Success...his Majesty loved it. :yahoo:
Oh how did i freeze a puree...lol i put it in a tupperware container...and before it was fully a block of ice...somewhat like a very hard sorbet...i cut it into seperate portions...and stuck it back in the freezer.
 :ty all so much for your suggestions  :thumbsup:
