stoemp

2015-12-05 a.o.

Stoemp is the Dutch name for a mash of potatoes and other vegetables. It is a rich cold-weather dish that is often served together with another Dutch winter dish, hutsepot.

The vegetables can be anything from a simple tomato to a wide assortment of different veggies together. Don't limit your imagination. Whatever you put in it will taste great.

A. Cabbage & carrots Stoemp

2016-12-14

The vegetables were cooked overnight in a crockpot for oxtail soup and were of course quite mushy by morning. The best thing to do with those vegetables is to turn them into a delicious stoemp.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 4 servings:

1 ½ lb. potatoes
2 lb. vegetables of choice
meat of choice

For this one, I used:

1 lb. coleslaw mix
15 Brussels sprouts
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 cup sliced carrots
1 lb. oxtail

Cook the potatoes until they are very soft and easy to mash.
Cook the vegetables until they are very soft.
Overnight is not required. (Pic2+3)
Drain potatoes and vegetables. Reserve the broth.
Mix and mash the vegetables into the potatoes.
It’s OK to leave small pieces in there. (Pic4)
- If too wet, heat over low heat while stirring to dry.
- If too dry, add some of the reserved broth.
Serve with meat and enjoy.

B. cabbages, carrots, bell peppers

This one started out very similar to the one above, until I added fresh broccoli and green bell peppers.

C. tomatoes

This is the simplest one of them all.
A few whole tomatoes from the soup give the potatoes a nice extra zing.

broccoli stoemp

2019-07-06

Think broccoli cheddar soup, mixed into mashed potatoes. Slightly different than the other stoemp recipes, but also very simple to prepare, especially with some leftovers.

Since this recipe is milk-based, it may help to mellow spicy food somewhat.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

2 cups mashed potatoes
1 cup broccoli florets, cooked
1 cup milk
1 cup grated sharp cheddar
S&P

Pic1: broccoli stoemp

Directions

Stir 1 cup of milk into 2 cups of mashed potatoes.
Warm through.
Add cheddar and warm until melted.
Add 1 cup of cooked broccoli florets.
Serve and enjoy.
Leftovers freeze well for long-term storage.

Optional:

Fill individual ramekins. Add grated cheese. (Pic3)
Bake at 350 ºF for 20 minutes, or until the content bubbles vigorously.
Serve and enjoy. (Pic4)
Don't forget to warn your guests that the ramekin is very hot.
