Stoemp met Witloof en Spekjes - Belgium traditional dish

🧂 재료

1 kg Potatoes(starchy variety, peeled and quartered)
4 medium Belgian endives (witloof)(trimmed, halved lengthwise, and cored)
150 g Bacon (spekjes)(diced)
50 g Butter
100 ml Milk(warmed)
1/4 tsp Nutmeg(freshly grated)
to taste Salt
to taste Black pepper

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
2
While potatoes are cooking, place the diced bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
3
Add the halved endives to the bacon fat in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until lightly browned and starting to soften.
4
Add a splash of water (about 50ml) to the skillet with the endives, cover, and braise over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
5
Drain the cooked potatoes well. Mash them in the pot with the butter and warmed milk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg.
6
Gently fold the braised endives and most of the crispy bacon into the mashed potatoes. Be careful not to mash the endives too much.
7
Serve the stoemp hot, garnished with the remaining crispy bacon bits.
