Boerenkool Stamppot.

 

This Dutch recipe is a traditional peasants dish served on cold winter nights.

It's hearty and a delicious way to get your greens.

In the Netherlands it is commonly served with applesauce and pickled baby onions.

It is also tasty garnished with a small "pond" of brown gravy in the center of the vegetable mixture.

That looks really good Casa I shall have to try it. !!

 

Also, I recently bought a Dutch pancake maker (Poffertjes) and I have a recipe, but how on earth do you cook them in those little holes and turn them over to cook the other side? Mine taste good but look quite messy lol

Nan ,

poffertjes are delicious , kids here love them .

The best way to bake them is pouring the stuff in those little holes wait till the upside is almost dry then turn them over with a little fork.
