The ultimate Dutch winter dish: rustic mashed potato with finely shredded kale, served with a thick smoked sausage and a well in the middle filled with gravy. Simple, cheap and deeply comforting.

Ingredients

4 servings
  • 1 tablespoon Wheat flour (for the gravy)
  • 150 ml Milk (hot)
  • 60 g Butter (40 g for the mash and 20 g for the gravy)
  • 1.2 kg Potato (floury, peeled and cut into large chunks)
  • 2 tablespoons Mustard (to serve)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)
  • 300 ml Beef Stock (for the gravy)
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg (freshly grated)
  • 500 g Sausages (thick smoked sausage, rookworst style, or German or Polish smoked sausages)
  • 500 g Kale (kale, tough stalks removed and very finely shredded, or collard greens)
  • 100 g Pancetta (diced) (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the kale very thoroughly in several changes of water, as it is often gritty, strip the leaves from the tough stalks and shred them very finely.

    10 min

  2. Put the potatoes in a large pan, barely cover them with cold water and add salt. Spread the kale on top, cover and cook over medium heat until the potatoes are very tender: the kale steams on top of them.

    25 min

  3. Meanwhile, heat the sausage in water just below the boil, without letting it bubble so it does not split, for about 20 minutes. If using pancetta, fry it in a dry frying pan until crisp and keep the fat it releases.

    20 min

  4. For the gravy, melt 20 g of butter in a small pan (or use the pancetta fat), add the flour and cook for a minute, stirring. Whisk in the stock a little at a time and simmer until slightly thickened. Season and keep it hot.

    8 min

  5. Drain the potatoes and kale well and return them to the pan. Add 40 g of butter and the hot milk and mash everything with a potato ricer or masher, not a blender, until you have a rustic mash with the kale still visible. Stir in the pancetta and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

    5 min

  6. Cut the sausage into thick slices. Spoon the stamppot into shallow bowls, make a well in the middle with the back of a ladle and fill it with gravy. Top with the sausage and serve with mustard.

Notes

Boerenkoolstamppot is the dish the Dutch associate with cold weather: it is eaten from November to February, when kale has had its first frosts and tastes sweeter, and it is a classic weeknight supper at home. Stamppot means 'mashed' and there are many versions (with sauerkraut, with carrot and onion, with endive), but the kale one is the best loved. Traditionally it comes with a rookworst, a thick horseshoe-shaped smoked sausage, and a little lake of jus, the meat gravy, in the middle of each plate. Rookworst is hard to find in Spain: the German or Polish smoked sausages sold in many supermarkets work well, as does a smoked longaniza; even a fresh chorizo cooked on the griddle is good with it, although it changes the flavour. Kale is now widely sold under that name; if you cannot find it, collard greens or Savoy cabbage, very finely shredded, are good alternatives. Mash by hand so it keeps some texture: a blender makes it gluey. It keeps for 3 days in the fridge and freezes for up to 2 months in portions; reheat it in a frying pan with a little butter, stirring, and add a splash of milk if it has dried out.
