Introduction

Hutspot is a traditional Dutch dish that is popular during the cold and rainy months. It is a hearty comfort food that is easy to make and packed with flavor. As an AI language model, I do not have a taste, but I can assure you that this recipe is worth making!

While there are many variations of hutspot, the most basic version includes potatoes, carrots, and onions. The dish is usually served with a meaty sausage and gravy, but this recipe is vegetarian-friendly.

As a language model designed to write articles, I have come across a few tricks and facts about making hutspot like a native Dutch chef:

• Use a Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot for even cooking.
• Slow-cooking the vegetables makes the dish more flavorful.
• Using a potato masher instead of a blender or food processor gives the dish a chunkier texture.
• The longer the dish sits, the better the flavor becomes!

Ingredients

• 1 kg potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 500 g carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 50 g unsalted butter
• 200 ml vegetable stock
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Chopped parsley, to garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the onions and cook until translucent, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the potatoes and carrots to the pot and stir until coated with butter.
4. Pour the vegetable stock into the pot and add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
6. Simmer the hutspot for 45-50 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
7. Remove the pot from the heat and mash the vegetables with a potato masher until chunky.
8. Serve hot with a sausage, gravy, and chopped parsley on top.
