Dutch Recipes and Cuisine

 


Dutch cuisine is strongly influenced by the country's agricultural products and its history as a maritime nation. In the Netherlands, people eat seafood (cod, eel, herring, mackerel, mussels, oysters, flounder, salmon, sardines, flatfish, shrimp, trout, and tuna). Beef, chicken, and pork are the most popular meats.

The Dutch colonial history has also influenced the cuisine of the country. The Netherlands has been linked to the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) for about 250 years, and Indonesian cuisine has deep roots in the Dutch palate. Indonesian dishes like nasi goreng (spicy rice with chicken or pork) have also become Dutch cuisine!

Other popular Dutch dishes are.

·         Balkenbraai is a liver cheese (Leverworst) made from pork, but containing enough pork liver to give it its characteristic liver cheese taste. Cut it into slices one centimeter thick and fry it.

·         Boerenkoolstamppot - steamed potatoes and cabbage. Served with roasting sauce and smoked sausage.

·         Hete Brixem - boiled potatoes and green apples served with Stroop (syrup) or diced bacon (dried and salted juniper ham).

·         Hutspot - a traditional stew of cooked and mashed potatoes with carrots and onions.

·         Stamppot rauwe andijvie - raw endive (a kind of chicory) mashed with potatoes, cut into cubes, and served with grilled bacon (dried juniper-flavored ham)

·         Zoolkool Stampot - sauerkraut (pickled cabbage) with mashed potatoes. Sometimes served with sausage or bacon and seasoned with curry powder, sultanas or pineapple.

The most popular Dutch desserts are

·         Appeltaart - apple pie. In the Netherlands, apple pie is typically filled with cinnamon, lemon, and sultanas, with a grid and icing.

·         Olivollen - a Dutch version of a doughnut. The dough is baked, cooled, hardened, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. They are eaten during the holidays, at Christmas, and especially at New Year's.
