"Stamppot" my way!

Stamppot (eng. "mash pot") is a traditional Dutch dish made from a combination of potatoes mashed with one or several other vegetables, sometimes also with bacon. These vegetable pairings traditionally include sauerkraut, endive, kale, spinach, turnip greens, or carrot and onion (the latter combination is known as hutspot). It is usually served with sausage or stewed meat. I'm not a big fan of the traditional Dutch stamppot which involves lot's of butter and sausage witch is made from unknown pieces of meat and more animal left overs I made stamppot my way. With ingredients I like and want to share it with you!

Ingredients:

900g potatoes

500g wild spinach (only the leaves)

100g pumpkin seed

100g sun dried tomatoes cut into little slices

300g of Brie cheese preferable in a role made into pieces/ rounds to fry

1l of milk or soy milk

teaspoon of nutmeg

teaspoon of cardamon

teaspoon of sea salt

olive oil

1 chopped garlic

1cm chopped Spanish pepper

honey

First put the garlic, pepper and tomatoes and olive oil into a pan and heat the pan until the garlic is brown and put aside in a little bowl. Pass the spinach though warm water and then put them aside in a strainer. Cook the potatoes in the milk, nutmeg and cardamon and salt until they are ready to mash. Take them out of the fire but keep the milk in and cover them. Get a pan to fry the cheese in! Put the pieces of cheese in the pan with honey on top of them and fry one side for 1,5 minutes then turn them and fry that side also for 1,5 minutes. Take the pan out of the fire. Take the milk out of the potatoes and then mash them. Join the spinach and the garlic tomato mixture in to the mash. Serve in a plate the mash with pieces of cheese on top and spread some the seeds on the plate. And it's ready!

Eet smakelijk!
