The Susanne

To make the per­fect Rote­mos, all you need is some swede, car­rots, butter, salt, pepper and water!

this feeds four:

• 1 kg swede, peeled and chopped in 2 cm pieces
• 2 car­rots, peeled and chopped in 2 cm pieces
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 3 tbsp butter or margarine

Boil the veget­ables until tender, then drain over a bowl to keep the water.

Mash the veget­ables with the butter and a little of the water from the cook­ing. Only use about 1 dl water or just enough to give the mash a lovely con­sist­ency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

If you’re also making Pinnekjøtt, an altern­at­ive could be using cook­ing juices from the meat in the mash instead of the water from the veget­ables, but be care­ful so it doesn’t become too salty.
