Stamppot is a traditional Dutch dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. Its history can be traced back to the humble farmers who used to cook this simple and hearty meal to refuel after a long day in the fields. Stamppot can consist of any mix of potatoes, vegetables, and sometimes even fruit, but the classic version uses kale or sauerkraut and is served with a smoked sausage. This version, using root vegetables and savoy cabbage, is a tasty twist on the original. The creamy and buttery mash pairs perfectly with the spicy and smoky flavors of the rookworst. It's a filling and satisfying meal that is sure to warm you up on a chilly evening.
