Stampot.... A traditional Dutch Meal
#1
Goede Morgen..... as they say in the Netherlands.
I have a recipe that is very dutch and filling. Being American living in the Netherlands I'm learing to eat some pretty strange stuff. This is one of my favorites, my only problem was getting past the green mashed potatoes.
This recipe can be made with Kale, endive, spinach, saurkraut, or carrots (Hutspot). I personally like the endive and spinach. I haven't tried the carrots.
I tried to convert the kilos to pounds. I think 1 kilo is about 2-1/2 pounds
Stampot....
6-8 medium potatoes peeled and cut to boil
2-1/2 lbs (1 kilo) fresh endive or spinach (greens) "Do not use frozen or canned"
1 lbs (500 grams) keilbassi or smoked sausage
1 medium onion chopped
1/2 lbs (250-300 grams)cubed slab bacon about 1/2" or smaller pieces
3 tblsp. Herb butter or plain
Peel and cut potatoes. Put in pan of water and cook till soft. At the same time in a separate pan put washed greens in another pan with a little water to steam, watch that it doesn't burn. On top of the greens you place the keilbassi/sasauge. This will cook down to almost 1/4th of what you put in the pan. As the greens cook the keilbassi/sasauge does also. I have found this sometimes takes a little more time about (5-10 minutes) than cooking the potatoes.
While all this is going on, saute the bacon pieces and onion together till cooked. Set aside do not drain.
When the potatoes are cooked. Drain and mash with 3 tblspn herb butter you don't want them too smooth. Now set the keilbassi aside and throughly drain the greens.
Add the sauted bacon & onions, with the greens to the potatoes and mix well.
Then place on the table in the pan you cooked it in with the keilbassi/sausage and dinner is served.
You can also have a light gravy I use the packages of Au Juice.
There you have a very typical dutch meal. And as they say before dinner "Eetsmakelijk" (enjoy your meal).
Serves 4.
