Dutch Boerenkool Stamppot is probably one of the oldest and most authentic Dutch dishes.
Literally translated it means farmers cabbage hodgepodge.
It is a Dutch dish of mashed potatoes with kale and served with a side of delicious sausage. The Dutch love to mash potatoes with all types of vegetables, like carrots (that would be called hutspot), and even sometimes, fruit.
This recipe is mashed with kale which is a healthy loved green.
This dish has a simplicity about it that makes it a wonderful comfort food.
This would be especially lovely on a cold winter night.
The sausage adds excellent flavor to the dish and I can easily be a one dish meal.
I can see why this dish has been loved for generations all throughout the Netherlands. Enjoy!
