Belgian Stoemp

Pork · world favourite.

Ingredients

• 2 Sausages
• 450g Potatoes
• 200g Savoy Cabbage
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 Handfull Parsley
• 1 small finely diced Onion
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 1 cup Beer
• 60ml Whole Milk
• Pinch Nutmeg
• Pinch Pepper
• Pinch Salt

Method

1. Prep and chop — Add the chopped potatoes and garlic to a high pan and fill it with tap water until the potatoes are fully submerged.
2. Bring to a boil — Add some salt. Then place the pan over high heat and bring the potatoes to a boil.
3. Drain — Cook them until tender. In the meantime rinse and drain the savoy cabbage.
4. Add ingredients — Slice it up finely. Add a tablespoon of butter to a large non-stick pan.
5. Heat the pan — Place it over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the savoy cabbage.
6. Fry — Season with a pinch of pepper and salt. Stir fry the cabbage for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cabbage is soft and tender.
7. Heat the pan — Then turn the heat off and take the cabbage off the heat.
8. Fry — In the meantime, pan fry the sausages (or sliced bacon if you are using both) in a non-stick pan in a tablespoon of butter or oil until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Cover and cook — Transfer the sausages (and bacon) to a plate and cover with a lid or tinfoil to keep the meat warm.
10. Serve — In the same greasy pan, add the sliced onion and extra butter and cook it gently over medium heat for 10 minutes until softened. (I often add diced bacon as well, if I only serve the stoemp with sausages.)
11. Heat the pan — Then add the beer and turn the heat up. Let the beer reduce until you get a nice beer and onion sauce (you can add a little flour or sauce thickener if you like).
12. Add ingredients — Add the pan fried meat back to the pan and cover to keep warm.
