    Belgian Stoemp Recipe

    Jump to Recipe

    Belgian stoemp is mashed potato with addition of vegetables and seasoned to taste. A simple, yet flavorful side dish.

    This month Food of the World is halting in Belgium. Belgian 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 Belgian cuisine are regional and seasonal. Potatoes, leeks, gray shrimp, Belgian endive are common ingredients and ingredients common in European cuisine such as cheese, meats and butter also part of the cuisine.

    I made stoemp, a typical Belgian dish prepared with mashed potato. You can add carrots, leafy vegetables 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.
