    Belgium Stoemp for Food of the World

    This month Food of the World is halting in Belgium. Belgium cuisine varies from region to region and is also influenced by neighboring countries, Germany, France and the Netherlands. Belgium is known for its chocolates, waffles and bear. Ingredients used in Belgium cuisine are regional and seasonal. Potatoes, leeks, gray shrimp, Belgium endive are common ingredients and ingredients common in European cuisine such as cheese, meats and butter also part of the cuisine. (wiki)

    I made stoemp, a typical Belgium dish prepared with mashed potato. Carrots, leafy vegetables can also be added to this mashed potato and it is usually served with sausages, bacon fried eggs or mince. I served my stoemp with fried pork and pickled jalapeno peppers. I did not have any pickled cucumbers so went with jalapenos.

    • Wash potatoes and cut into 8 – 12 pieces. Boil the potatoes until soft, about 15 – 20 minutes.
      Drain the potatoes, peel and keep aside.
    • While the potatoes are boiling, sauté rest of the vegetables. In a pan heat some oil and sauté onion until soft.
