I'm not being rude, as it is wonderful that you provided these excellent Dutch recipies, but is this, and the next recipe a main!

Stampot. Slowly cook some diced stewing steak until nearly falling apart. Peel and pile on top, an onion, potatoes, carrots, kumera, parsnip. Cook until veges are ready, drain, then mash the lot in together. Pour the saved liquid into a jug as gravy(or jus) This is remembered from staying with a Dutch family and quantities are adjusted to the number you're feeding. It's very casual.

When I was in Holland these were my favourite food:
Oops sorry my error!Thanks for pulling me up on that one, although I did notice that you didn't actually supply a recipe!Ha ha. Yes it's a main dish that I am after, either the Netherlands or Holland. The one above sounds good, but any others also appreciated.Thanx:)

the Netherlands and Holland are one and the same. Suggest you look at an atlas.

Specifically north and south Holland are two provinces in the Netherlands. Stampot beetroot and onion sauce is also really good, boil potatoes, and mash them together with rasped (boiled first) beetroot. Serve with hard boiled eggs and onion sauce- made with butter, fry cubed/sliced onion in it, then add flour to thicken and chicken stock to make a sauce, yum

I know beetroot stampot sounds quite strange but it is always a favourite in winter, kids esp will love it, also taste good with some mayonaise, we always mash the eggs into it on our plates.

Thanx heaps ingies. You have been most helpful. I could use this as a side dish maybe!Pity that some other posters can only criticise my lack of knowledge regarding Holland!Grrr! I notice that neither of these posters provided recipes though.LOL!

There are worse things in life than being hazy about geography., zambesi2.
I'll bet you know exactly where the great Zambesi is and they don't!

The classic Dutch recipe is the Uitsmijter (say "out-smight-er"). This means "bouncer" and is a sort of hearty brunchy meal. I don't know why more New Zealand cafes don't serve it.
Butter two or three slices of bread and top with slices of either ham OR cold meat OR cheese. Top this with 2 or 3 fried or poached eggs. Surround with salad - usually tomatoes and lettuce and cucumber, though my favourite cafe in Amsterdam used to put Huzarensla (Google it) with it. You may also like potato salad. And most importantly, some gherkins. Whole or sliced, like sandwich gherkins. Plenty of gherkins.
Mmm, think I'll have lunch now!

'It's' has an apostrophe when it's an abbreviation of 'it is'.
It's not a criticism - it's a statement of fact ;)

Woteva - spelling Nazi has a capital N because it's a proper noun.

Ingies, beetroot stampot brings back so many memories. It used to be served cold, mashed with mayonnaise, gherkins and tiny cocktail onions. I'd forgotten so much Dutch food, I want to be a child again. I wonder if it still tastes the same or was it the flavour of sunny days, roaming wild and friendship!

Um. Bit like saying Germans and French are the same people.

zambesi - I doubt you are going to get much more from here. Most posters are not Dutch, do not come from the Netherlands or have only a passing acquaintance with food from Holland. I really think that google is your friend. I have just used it and found many fabulous and easy recipes.

So unlike me, you have noted a huge response from posters in here giving lots and lots of Dutch recipes for the main course have you! And I know about google because I'm clever. Tee hee.
