<center> Stamppot (Hotch Potch)

</center>
A quick, down to earth meal. Usually stamppot consists of mashed potatoes mixed with varying ingredients like carrots and onions (hutspot), raw endive or curly kail. Hotch Potch is served with fried bacon (cubes) and smoked sausage. That the Dutch are obsessed with delta works and 'stealing land from the sea', is illustrated by the habit that they like to dig a hole in the middle of the blob of hotch potch on their plates, and fill it with gravy. Usually this type of meal is eaten during the Winter months. As an example I'll give the recipe for Hutspot: Ingredients :
1 or 2 slices of lean bacon, 4 large onions, 800 grams potatoes, 800 grams carrots, milk, 4 table spoons fat, butter or margarine, pepper.
Preparation:
Wash the meat, boil in 2 cups of water and salt for about 2 hours. Scrub and mince the carrots. Peel, wash and slice onions and add them to the meat together with peeled and cut potatoes and carrots. Boil until done (about 30 minutes). Remove meat from pan. Mash all the vegetables and add fat, butter or margarine and pepper. If too thick add some milk (but a spoon must stand up in it). Serve with the sliced meat. The lot should be covered with rich, fat gravy. The dish is eaten as a main meal dish.

Flensjes (Dutch pancakes)

Ingredients
250 g all-purpose flour
pinch of salt
2 large eggs
500 ml milk
2 tbsp butter or margarine


Preparation
Mix flour and salt. Make a small hole in the middle of the mixture and place the eggs in it. Gradually stir in eggs, then gradually stir in milk. Melt fat in nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat and add enough batter just to cover the pan thinly. Tilt the pan so the batter spreads. When the bottom is browned, flip pancake and brown the other side. Stack pancakes on a warm plate. Fill with apples, diced and simmered in butter with currants, cinnamon and brown sugar. Roll pancakes around filling and sprinkle with icing sugar.

Hachee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachee#cite_note-0) (pronunciation: ha-shay) is a traditional Dutch stew based on diced meat, fish or bird, and vegetables. Hachee based on beef, onions and acid (usually vinegar or wine) is a typical example of traditional Dutch cuisine and particularly of Brabantish cuisine. Clove and bay leaves are added to the thick gravy. It is usually served with Red Cabbage, apples, apple sauce, potatoes, hutspot or rice.


ORIGIN:
The word hachee has its origins in the French word for "chopping": hacher. Hachees have been described in Medieval (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval) buffets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffet), although the exact recipe usually isn't described. The stew probably has its origin in the reuse of meat cooked in a Dutch oven (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_oven) together with vegetables that happened to be available. Acidic fluids such as wine of vinegar where added to make the meat more tender

Kale and Sausage (Stamppot Van Boerenkool Met Worst) (http://www.bigoven.com/103201-Kale-and-Sausage-%28Stamppot-Van-Boerenkool-Met-Worst%29-recipe.html)


Ingredients




2 lb Or 3, curly kale
3 lb Potatoes
Milk
Salt
1 lb Smoked sausage or
4 tb Fat, butter, or margarine
Pepper


<!-- ad --> Instructions


Strip, wash and cut up the kale very finely. Boil kale in little boiling water with salt, about 40 minutes. Add peeled and cut potatoes and sausage and enough water to prevent burning (cooking time 30 minutes). Remove sausage from pan, mash remainder and stir in boiled milk until smooth. Taste, add some pepper if desired. "Stamppot" (Stew) means that the vegetables and potatoes are mixed to a smooth consistency. It is a typical winterdish at home and the Dutch have a saying: never eat curly kale before the frost has got at it.

Some additional ideas

Dutch usually add baked or roasted salted bacon trips (as can be seen in the picture) to the dish to add some more flavor.
Sometimes a little pinch of nutmeg is also added.

[The Lawspeaker]

It is good. Trust me. "licks lips"

2 tbsp fine bread crumbs
salt and pepper
nutmeg and ground clove
1 egg

Let the dough rise for half an hour. In the meantime prepare the filling. Mix the pork with bread crumbs, salt and pepper to taste, pinch of clove and nutmeg. Roll the meat into one sausage of about ½” thick.
Shape and roll the dough and cut into 4”x4” squares. Cut the sausage into 3” lengths and wrap each into a piece of dough. Seal the ends. Place the rolls top-down on a greased baking sheet, cover with a clean towel and let it rise for 15 minutes. Lightly beat the egg and brush it on the rolls. Bake it for about 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 225ºC/425ºF.



for the dessert:


500 ml applesauce
500 ml milk
3 tbsp custard powder
3 tbsp sugar
8 rusks (beschuiten)
butter, sugar and cinnamon


Grease an oven dish. Boil the milk, dissolve the powder in a bit of the milk and add it to the rest with the sugar, till it is nice and thick. Thick-butter the rusks and place a layer in the dish. Cover with half of the applesauce and half of the custard. Add another layer of rusks, a layer of applesauce and top it with the remainder of the custard.
Bake the dessert in a preheated oven at about 175ºC/330ºF for about 30 minutes or until the top is browned. Let the dessert cool, empty it upside down on a platter, sprinkle it with cinnamon and slice thickly.





Eet smakelijk. (Bon Appetit !)

Lawspeaker, what's bouillon? (Sorry, too lazy to look at wiki) :(

marigold does a good swiss vegetable one, in powder form. you can also sprinkle it onto food for flavour

[Svipdag]

Bouillon is clear broth said to have been invented at the behest of a vain French king [weren't they all ?] who wanted to be able to see his face in his soup. Not to be confused with bullion, precious metal in bulk.

[Albion]

Looks nice. I always liked Leek and Potato soup, the potatoes act as a filler.

[Piparskeggr]

I like making a simple soup of leeks, onions, spinach, escarole and raddichio, all coarse chopped and simmered to doneness in chicken stock with thinly sliced mushrooms and shreds of smoked ham.
