The winter is traditionally the time for stamppot, a Traditional Dutch Food. However, this lettuce stamppot is perfect in Spring time. True comfort food, but with the lightness you want in a spring recipe. Full of fresh vegetables, it’s perfect to prepare in this time of the year.
Mashed potatoes stuffed with onions, bell pepper, lettuce, cumin cheese, chive and garlic cream cheese. Such a perfect and delicious combination. The recipe comes from the cookbook Lekker Eten & Bewegen from C1000.
Another stamppot recipe on the blog is the Red Beets Endivie Stamppot. Other delicious dinners are the Bacon and Kale Pasta or the Fried Rice with broccoli and Devilish Chicken Drumsticks.
Review
Used regular onions instead of sweet onions. I omitted the salt in the boiling water for the potatoes.
