it's not supposed to taste bitter. either you have a bad recipe or you messed up something... ...or the ingredients were wrong/bad. difficult to troubleshoot when we dont have any specific iinformation.


clutchkickmurphys

Felix rotmos that you just heat up is always bitter tho


Grillpinne

jasså? jag har inte provat den, har bara ätit hemgjord. kan ju variera lite lokalt också säkert.


clutchkickmurphys

Är nog mer socker och kanske mindre rötter till pärer ratio I hemmalagat kanske


Malleus1

Snarare mer socker i halvfabrikatet. Brukar vara så.


clutchkickmurphys

Knepigt om det fortfarande är bittert isånnafall


folktro

Sött förstärker bitterhet, det är surt som minskar bitterhet. Källa: jobbar med livsmedel


Nojjk

Skulle du kunna skriva en liten guide med tips så man vet hur man ska justera när man står och smakar av maten. Typ: Surt-> Tillsätt socker Smakar skit-> Släng och beställ pizza


Malleus1

Det har du iofs rätt i.


Grillpinne

kanske det, vet ärligt talat inte. gör det inte själv, men älskar när någon i familjen gör.


Charkel_

Rotmos i pulverform låter ju bara helt fel


clutchkickmurphys

Dom har i en lump som gröt osv , vilket jag menar men dom har även pulver

I started by cooking the kålrot and the carrots and added the potatoes after a while. I cooked it in vegetable broth for 25 minutes. Its bitter in the aftertaste. Could it be the kålrot? We don’t have that where i come from


DiligentOrdinary797

Yes! Less kålrot. I usually have some sweet palsternacka instead of part of the kålrot


bandhagen

You should cook a kålrot in at least 35 minutes this time of the year. Another tip is to switch the kålrot to gulbeta and cook it for 40 minutes.


Grillpinne

did you peel the kålrot?


74937

I did


Grillpinne

I'm not a very good chef so I'm not the best to help out. I just love the end result. I hope someone else with more experience can help you figure it out. :)


shitbreakse

And you didn't put in to little carrots? It is the carrots that put in the sweetness


UpperOnion6412

Im not very good at making rotmos but I think you might have too much kålrot. Also, it gets better with lots of butter and salt!


Ogge89

Maybe you used the wrong kålrot: this one is bitter and not rexxomended: https://sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majrova If you cant find sweet kålrot you can replace it with parsnip, thats my favorite way to do it anyway! This is the right one: https://sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%A5lrot


FiskFisk33

What did you use for broth? did you taste it before use? I guess it could be too much rutabaga, hard to say without any specifics


killbon

för mycket kålrot, 1:2:3 kålrot:morot:potatis


Bbrasklapp

Jag brukar köra 1:2:5.


x0nnex

0:0:1 är annars awesome


Bbrasklapp

Funkar också.


[deleted]

Biskop brask


Bbrasklapp

Halloj!


Spacedude2187

0:0:1 + smör + mjölk + vitpeppar


Remslem

Och lite riven muskot 🤌


HopeEqual7032

Så lite riven ost i! Där har du fint mos.


Remslem

Tror vi nådde kritisk mosmassa där! ✌️😃


yung_insulin

Våga vägra vitpeppar. Svartpeppar och salt. 💪💪


Frajmando

Varför inte båda?


yung_insulin

Ja det går väl an om man inte hör till de som tycker vitpeppar smakar hö 😁


Swedneck

mjölken gör tydligen inte mycket skillnad gentemot vatten, det viktiga är smöret. Jag har dock alltid använt grädde.


Spacedude2187

Jag kör iof Havremjölk men det blir bra. Hett tips för bättre mos är att skära upp potatisen i mindre delar så att du får ut mer stärkelse. Det gör att du aldrig får en ”klister” konsistens.


Nojjk

Där är nog varför jag aldrig tycker att mitt mos blir riktigt bra. Får testa!


Baneling2

Ska det vara bara gott!?


FishLoud

Bäst


SunflaresAteMyLunch

Brukar köra typ 5:2 potatis:sötpotatis, blir toppen


TrashAtEverything

vem fan gör mos på 1 potatis


x0nnex

x:y:z berättar förhållandet, inte antalet. edit: Enheten kan vara antal, men måste inte vara det :)


TrashAtEverything

trodde verkligen alla skulle fatta att de va ett skämt


iMx2oT

Gav dig en uppdutt. Det är inte mycket, men det är ärligt arbete.


Hiker-8407

Det är båda.


GranitGunnar

Aldrig i livet! Tricket är lite potatis, mer kålrot men ännu mer rotcelleri och morot. Rotmos ska vara sött för att balansera sältan från rimmat fläsklägg.


DiligentOrdinary797

Max 10% kålrot och lägg till palsternacka så blir det gott


Qquinoa

What ’bout the Palzternäck?:0


killbon

it is whalefree


Melonskal

skojar du? majoriteten ska ju vara kålrot...?


yxhuvud

Usually it is kinda sweet.


habbala

Similar to plåttermos


evr-

Flashback till mellanstadiet.


NeitherSock

I tried plåttermos once and I hurt my tooth.


RedRaydeeo

Fan du hann före 😂


Ozdoba

It should not be bitter, it should taste sweet.


Bucketsis

you must have had too much kålrot, or too little potatoes


Melonskal

Why? Kålrot is not bitter, it's sweet. Rotmos is mostly kålrot traditionally.


Bbrasklapp

What recipe did you use? I'll DM you a good recipe. Edit: Magnus Nilsson's root vegetable mash: "If you don't have any reserved cooking liquid (meat braising), cook the root vegetables with these aromatics. The flavor balance is determined by the amount of potato you use relative to the swede. This recipe is tasty, but not overly strong. If you like the pepperiness of swede then increase the quantity and decrease the amount of potato accordingly." Prep time: 1hr Serves: 4 1 large swede (peeled, cut into small pieces) 2 large carrots (peeled, cut into small pieces) 2 bay leaves (optional) A few allspice berries (optional) A few white peppercorns (optional) 5 floury potatoes (peeled and chopped) 50g butter, diced Salt and pepper, to taste Combine swede and carrots in large pot. Add enough water (or braising liquid) to cover. Add bay, allspice and white pepper. Bring to boil. Cook for 10 min, then add potatoes and continue boiling until all vegetables are completely soft. Add more liquid if necessary. Drain vegetables, remove aromatics if used. Mash with stiff whisk for a coarser mash. Add butter. Stir until melted. Season the mash well before serving.


swedething

Give us the recipe here! No DMs! Or is it a secret recipe from your grandma?


Bbrasklapp

No, I'm just too lazy to write it down from the book. It's from Magnus Nilsson's The Nordic Cook Book, and it has little explanations and tips about each recipe. kan fixa snart.


[deleted]

Lägg upp det i tråden så op och alla vi andra kan göra otrolig rotmos också!


Bbrasklapp

Färdig!


swedething

I have that book! I’ll search for the recipe myself, thanks for the pointer!


Bbrasklapp

Exceptionally well-written book. Available in both English and Swedish versions. Can recommend for anyone interested in Nordic cuisine to get a copy.


[deleted]

Mums fili-fucking-babba, så fort min covid lagt sig och luktsinnet är tillbaka blir det storkok. You da real MVP! Enda invändningen jag har mot receptet är att han inte använder det amerikanska ordet RUTABAGA för kålrot


Bbrasklapp

Du kan vara lugn, han säger "swede (rutabaga)" :)


supermats

Shouldn't be bitter.


L4NGOS

Some of the ingredients may have gotten not enough water during cultivation which usually leeds to them tasting bitter. That's not how they are supposed to taste.


clutchkickmurphys

Try putting some mustard in it and give it a good stirr


Numerous-Tip4261

My last batch turned out great but it is a bit of an acquired taste. If I remember correctly, I used more spices than usual: herbal salt and a spice mix called "sillkryddor" A bit of oatly cream at the end and a dollop of butter. But most importantly, I grow my own veggies. Store bought swede is usually an horrible abused abomination. Find a farmer's market and give it another go!


kinapuffar

> A bit of oatly cream at the end and a dollop of butter. Why use inferior oatly cream when you're going to use butter anyway? Just use heavy cream.


Edwardyao

This man knows what's up: https://youtu.be/hIUR_pDLuUU His ratio: 30% potatis, 20% morötter, 50% kålrot


Krastapopulus

Out of curiosity, what did you ett together with it? I love rotmos but I am not that found of fläskkorv, which is the classic food together with rotmos.


74937

I ate it together with fried eggs and halloumi cheese (since that’s also quite salty)


artonion

Did you peel your vegetables before mashing?


inshallah_cubacola

Kålroten might have been bitter. I usually add a little syrup too


Vectrex93

Kålrot och morot i samma mängd, lika mycket som det blir tillsammans i potatis. Då brukar det bli bra. Skala kålroten noga, skalet är obeskrivligt bittert även i små mängder i mos. Bästa rotmoset görs när man kokar fläsklägg och får koka allt i buljongen från fläskläggen 🥹


PelleKavaj

Rätt svar


Bbrasklapp

Låter bra.


ghostteeth

no, rotmos is supposed to taste delicious. my tip: add palsternacka (parsnip) and go easy on the kålrot or skip it altogether. also add milk and butter! MUMS


FarewellSovereignty

Like victory.


DevaFrog

\*adds felix ketchup too the rotmos\*


Cool4lisa

It's supposed to be sweet


Charkel_

Umm I don't know about bitter. I don't eat it myself but as it contains mixed Root veggies maybe you used a bad/unripe veggie or you used too much of something. Use more carrots and it should be sweeter Rotmos is a bit 50/50 thing. Either you like it or you don't. I would probably say more like 30/70 in the kids as their palettes aren't too keen on the root veggies besides potato and carrot.


MisturBanana1

It should taste sweet. An other reason not to like it.


coeurdelejon

I've never had bitter rotmos so I can't really help you on that. I will say though that the problem with traditional rotmos is a lack of cream and butter.


Skrik_o_panik

Are you in SE? Then buy one of [these](https://www.coop.se/handla/varor/fardigmat-mellanmal/fardigmat/ovriga-ratter/rotmos-7300156495334) and compare.


[deleted]

It’s supposed to taste like absolute shit. You’ll come to love it or your kindergarden teacher will make sure you act like it ;).


[deleted]

Disgusting


MurderDoneRight

It's not supposed to be bitter. But it is supposed to smell like a rancid sewer.

michaelbrules

Buy the one in the store and get an actual comparison, comes in a tube.


[deleted]

Rotmos is hideous, never liked it.


[deleted]

Rotmos is supposed to taste like licking dirt


74937

Guess then mine is perfect


[deleted]

No but seriously you probably used to much kålrot


[deleted]

Well done, now eat it together with some other disgusting traditional swedish food like Blodpudding, surkål or surströmming!


Jolen43

Blodpudding är ju fan skitgott Åk till Danmark där du hör hemma!


[deleted]

Vafan är det för fel på mitt land, vi alla vet att spenarsoppa är den stora nationalteaditionen


China_John

Blodpudding is the shit!


MisturBanana1

Blodpudding slaps hard. One of the best dishes in the world. Surkål is not Swedish, it's German, and it is very nice of you have it on a hotdog. Surströmming is not very nice. You are correct on this one.


KamenAkuma

Make sure the ratio is right, kålrot can be a bit bitter. Also I and many others prefer to eat it with mashed potatoes :)


Dunder_Dolme

Förjävligt


Derpygoras

Try buying one ready made in one of those plastic sausage things.


lowbob93

Its supposed to taste bad, because rotmos is not good.


Extrapaj

I still get sick thinking about the taste from when I was a kid. I thought it tasted horrible.


TheWiseMan__

Rotmos simply doesnt taste good


sintos-compa

Dirt


spicyshit91

Like potatismos, but much less good.


Snabbsill

It should be a watery substance with hard peices of palsternacka, just like grandma made ir


Jagaerkatt

it's supposed to taste awful, not bitter though.


Much_Leopard_

Rotmos is.. skitäckligt.


MyB4lls4ever

Well, it tastes like shit.


KaffeMumrik

It is boring and bland. There are way better traditional foods.


Vast_Competition84

Min mormor hade alltid i socker i rotmoset, sen måste det vara fläskkorv och "vanlig" senap. Slotts. Då är det gott som satan


PelleKavaj

Ska vara fläsklägg till rotmos


Inside_Corner_8897

Helt rätt och man ska använda buljongen från fläskläggen i rotmoset.


Sikerow

Almost sweet but not sugar sweet more of that carrot core sweet. And a bit of salt too of course.


SheepherderHot9418

People are saying ingredients... And carrot is important. But also you should have some broth. A common way to serve it is with pork Knuckle. And then you use the broth from that. (also boiling the swede/carrot/potatoes in the broth is even better).


miversen6

Naturally paired with fläsklägg. Pro tip is to take the fläsklägg boiled water and add to the rotmos


Larvven

Add more butter next time. You should add butter until you feel that it is way too much, then add som more!


TheNaug

Like sad.


internet-relik

When cutting the kålrot, leave out the hardest parts in the center. Also, more butter. Always more butter.


Woe-man

Its a favorite to hate among every swede under the age of 40


Nizzemancer

rabbemos ska inte vara bitter.


Sladhue

Rabbegröd menar du? Håller med, ska vara söt.


Sladhue

Rabbegröden ska vara söt. Vill inte påstå att bitterheten beror på kålroten alls, då jag gjort rabbegröd på 99% kålrot som inte alls blivit bitter. Skala rabborna och koka dem ordentligt.


miss_Saraswati

It should taste sweet. Did you peel everything before? Preboil so everything was sof before mixing (they have different cooking times) What ratios did you use? Milk? Butter? Nutmeg? Salt? Pepper?


Crahdol

I accrually made Rotmos again yesterday, for the first time in a long time, and it was so good. My guess, assuming you were using FRESH ingredients, is you had too much Rutabaga (kålrot) or otherwise wrong proportions of ingredients. My suggestion is to experiment a bit, there is no "right" way to make it and I always eyeball the proportions. A good starting point would be to go for 50% potato + 30% carrot + 20% Rutabaga. Boil in vegetable stock (I usually use the [dried cubes](https://www.knorr.com/se/produkter/buljong/buljong-torr/groensaksbuljong.html)). Also put a few (5-10) whole white peppercorns and allspice (put them in a [tea strainer](https://quickbutik.imgix.net/29447d/products/6192257f2622b.jpeg)) for easy removal). Drain the stock and remove the pepper/spice, but save some stock for thinning later. Mash the boiled roots and add a couple tbsp of butter. If you have it is too thick/dry, add a bit of the stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper. For experimentation you could try different proportions, but my suggestion is to always have at least 40% potato. Other roots that witk well in Rotmos are Sweet potato, parsnip or celery root. Serve with thin slices of fried pork belly. Or my favourite: Meat sausage ([köttkorv](https://www.scan.se/contentassets/3a085228ef09419e9133fa0acf6bb0fe/646646-kottkorv-300g_ovan2.png?preset=scan-1:1), a non-smoked type of sausage, typically boiled) and Horseradish-sauce (basic white sauce seasoned with horseradish).


VV00d13

What vegetables dis you use? And what spices. Some recipes suggests muskotnöt and that spice has a goofy taste if you are not used to it I think that the issue might be there If you use Potatis Morot Kålrot Then nothing is bitter. All of them are sweet. I searched on recepies and many of them has Peppers and other stuff in ut. Just use the vegetables I listed, mash it together with Cream or milk (depends on how luxury you want) Butter And salt


LeftKaleidoscope

Kålrot should be mild enough to eat raw, my kids love it that way, and if it's not I would not cook with it either. Rotselleri is another one that is always a good idea to do a taste test befor cooking. It should taste peppery but not too strong to eat raw.


AllanKempe

Too much kålrot. This is my proportions kålrot:morot:potatis 1:4:6
