"Stamppot" is a traditional Belgian dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The name "Stamppot" literally translates to "mash pot" in English, and it's a hearty and comforting dish made by mashing boiled potatoes and mixed with other vegetables. The most traditional one is with kale but other greens such as savoy cabbage, endive or carrots can be used. It's usually served with a side of meatless sausage or meatless meatball and topped with fried onions for extra flavor. This vegan version of the dish, will give you all the comforting flavors of the original, while also being a delicious and healthy plant-based meal.

  • 1 cup of chopped kale or savoy cabbage
  • 1/4 cup of vegan butter
  • 1/4 cup of plant-based milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: nutritional yeast for a cheesy taste

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, bring the potatoes to a boil and cook until they are tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
  2. In the same pot, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Add the kale or cabbage and sauté for a few minutes until it is wilted.
  3. Add the cooked potatoes to the pot with the kale and mash everything together with a potato masher or a fork until you have a chunky mixture.
  4. Gradually stir in the plant-based milk, continuing to mash everything together, until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve the stamppot in bowls and top it with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast if desired.
