Ingredients
- 2 lb Rutabaga
- 1 lb Carrots
- 1 lb Potatoes
- 1 lb Pork belly
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
Steps
- Boil the rutabaga, carrots, and potatoes together until completely tender — rotmos means mashed root, no al dente.
- Drain well and mash with butter and cream until smooth but not gluey.
- Crisp the salt pork in a dry pan until the edges crackle.
- Serve the mash with the pork scattered over and mustard on the side; humble roots, glorious plate.
- A spoonful of lingonberry jam on the side cuts the richness — the Swedes put it next to everything for a reason.
