Best of all, this traditional vegetable mash is packed with nutrients.
Stamppot (meaning stew) is a classic, probably one of the oldest, Dutch dishes made with mashed potatoes as a base and seasonal root and leafy vegetables.
This creamy stew is usually served with rookworst, a type of smoked sausage, sometimes cooked on top of veggies, that adds so much flavor to the dish (the Belgian version uses fried sausage).
Omit the sausage, and you'll still have a tasty, meatless meal.

This meal sounds great! However, (being dutch) I would prefer not to drain all that nutritious water that you cooked all the vegetables in - you are literally throwing some of the healthiest parts down the drain! I understand that you do not want the dish to be runny, but what if you were to make a slurry with some of the water cooled down mixed with corn starch to create a thicker sauce - like a stew? Just wondering how that would work. I guess if you think that would not work, maybe you could save the water and use it for a different soup or stew to add flavor and nutrition - just a thought.
