DUTCH STEW WITH KALE AND CARROTS (STAMPPOT MET WORTELEN EN BOERE

Steps:

• Add 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover halfway up the potatoes.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 10-20 minutes until potatoes and carrots are tender.
• Remove meat (any kind of sausage is fine) and set aside.
• Drain the water from the potato mixture but SAVE the water!
• Remove the bay leaves.
• Mash the vegetables together. (For company, I separate the carrots and some potatoes and mash those separately. Then swirl them with the kale/potato mash for a really pretty dish) Add potato water as needed for texture/moisture. You may add butter, cream, etc. if you like, but it's really not needed!
• Slice the sausage into 1-2" pieces and arrange on vegetable/potato mash.
• Serve with a salad and dinner is ready!

DUTCH STAMPPOT WITH ROOKWORST

Steps:

• Prepare the vegetables: Peel and roughly chop the potato, Butternut squash (pumpkin), sweet potato/yam, carrots, parsnips and turnip. Peel and finely chop the onion. Wash any grit from the leek and cabbage, then slice both fairly finely.
• Place the chopped vegetables in a large stock pot, and add water to barely cover. Place over heat, cover, bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, around 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the rookworst as per the instructions on the wrap, or saute the chorizo, or other spicy saudage you choose, in a little oil. Slice, then keep warm.
• Drain the vegetables well, then mash - but not too smoothly - some lumps are good ;-) Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the butter, and mix through (use less than 1/2 cup if you prefer). If desired, stir through the chopped parsley.
• Serve the stamppot topped with the sliced sausage, and if you are really decadent, with an extra knob of butter!
