(Recipe) Stamppot ‘Hete Bliksem’

 

Introduction

Stamppot ‘Hete Bliksem’ translated: ‘Hot Lightning’

When you think of the Netherlands, the first words that pop into your head are wooden shoes, bicycles, windmills, cows and tulips. But Holland would not be Holland without its typical stamppot! A creamy dish with boiled potatoes, combined with vegetables that are finely mashed together (hence the name “stamppot”, which literally means “mashed pot”).

For stamppot, there is not just one recipe, no, stamppot comes in all colours and shapes and therefore (although it is mainly a winter dish) it is delicious to eat all year round.

One of the most famous old Dutch dishes is Hete Bliksem (Hot Lightning). Don’t ask me where this particular name comes from, but what I do know is that this is a delicious dish and it can be served in no time at all.
Let’s make it.
