 Dutch Hutspot | Status Approved | | Name | Dutch Hutspot | | Category | Side Dishes, Vegetables, European | | Serves/Yields | 4 servings | | Source | Mama | | Difficulty | Easy | | Prep. Time | 25 minutes (+5 to get the tears from your eyes) | | Cook Time | 20-25 minutes | | Introduction | | Ramses writes:This is a very old Dutch recipe. It is primarily served during the winter months cause you keep warm from it. The official name is Hutspot, roughtly translated as shaken stew. The people from Amsterdam call it Hete Bliksem, which can be translated as Hot Lightnin, cause it warms you up in a spilt second.
Note; I tried the recipe Ramses originally posted and although it was ok I saw lots of room for improvement.I played with it a little, changed some of the methods and ingredient amounts, added a few ingredients and came up with a much tastier dish. This is actually a very good dish now and something I prepare for myself occasionally......Kate | | Ingredients | | For the Hutspot
2 pounds potatos
1 pounds carrots
1 pound onions
5 tablespoons milk (approx)
2 chicken bouillion cubes
1 stick butter , divided in half
Salt and pepper to taste.
For Pork steaks
4 pork steak
3 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper
3 tbsp flour
1 1/2 cups liquid ( meat stock, beer, milk, wine, the choice is yours)
| | Directions | | Step: 1 | For the pork steaks
In a heavy baking pan melt 2 to 3 tablsepoons butter. Season the pork steaks with salt and pepper and arrange in pan. Bake the pork steak at 350 degrees until it is tender and brown (about 30 minutes depending on the thickness of the steaks). Remove pork steak from pan and add 3 tablsepoons of flour and stir well to loosen any brown bits. Cook flour and butter mixture over medium heat until a pale golden brown. Add liquid to the pan, stirring rapidly to combine. Cook until gravy is thickened and bubbly. Add a bit more liquid if the gravy is to thick, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
For Hutspot
While the pork is baking:
Peel the potatos, carrots & onions and cut them in pieces .Melt half of the cube of butter in a large pot and add the onions. Cook until the onions are golden and fragrant but not browned. Add the remaining ingredients and just enough water to cover the vegetables.Boil vegetables approximately 20 minutes until potatoes are soft. Drain the vegetables (reserve the vegetable broth to use in soup) and add the milk and mash well.
Add the half cube of butter, salt & pepper to taste.
Serve with a bit of the gravy over the hutspot
| | Nutrition Information | | Fills great, with the gravy it is a hell for your arteries and heart, the pork of course is optional and can be left out if you are a veggie.
