מוכרים המון מוצאים הולנדים בייחוד גבינות. לגבי אוכל הולנדי מסורתי, מצ"ב מתכון מבעלי:
Stamppot Andijvie // Endive Stew Ingredients: - Aardappelen // Potatoes -- Don't use sweet potatoes at any cost. Also, it's best if the potatoes are relatively flowery. Fattier or stiffer potatoes are better suited for fries or frying. - Andijvie // Endives -- The green ones that look like a head of lettuce, not the smaller white ones - Spek // Bacon -- Preferably raw bacon in one piece, but if you can't get it (and you can't in Israel), smoked or cured bacon will do. In one piece, to cut yourself - Azijn // Vinager -- White vinager is fine. Do not use balsamic under any circumstance, if need be a white wine vinager will work too. - Milk - Butter - Salt, pepper - Nutmeg Peel and wash the potatoes, cut them in pieces of around an inch squared and boil them until done all through. They should break when you stick a fork into them. When done, pour the water out of the pan, but keep some of it. In the mean time, cut the bacon into small strips and fry them without additional fat in a non stick pan. The fat from the bacon itself will come out. Fry until crispy. Separate the bacon and keep some of the liquid fat on the side. Wash the endives, take out all hard leaves (if any) and the larger stems of the leaves. Cut the endives into small strips, around 3-5mm wide. Mash the potatoes and add milk, butter, salt and pepper to taste. Watch the salt as the bacon is salty too. I tend to not mash them until it's smooth and all fluffy. I tend to mash them so that it's still a bit chunky. Add the bacon, a spoon of the bacon fat and the strips of endives, and mix this in with the potatoes. If you want, you can also add a very finely chopped onion to taste. Add some nutmeg and make sure to season with pepper and salt. This is a summer dish. It should be quite endive-heavy, and it should be luke-warm, not boiling hot. The vinager adds a little acidity which brings out the fresh flavour of the endives, and acts to brighten the heavier flavour of the bacon somewhat. I don't know if you're a mizrahi or not, but at any rate the vinager cannot and should not be replaced with lemon juice. If you want, you can also hard-boil some eggs, slice those up and lay them over the top of the dish. Serve with some diced veggies as a garnish, some cucumber, grated carrot and a slice of tomato do nicely.
