Netherlands - Hutspot met Klapstuk

Hutspot is a slow cooked dish of vegetables that are then mashed which is often served with Klapstuk a joint of brisket or other braising beef. It's a perfect recipe for me, I love using my slow cooker and having a plate full of vegetables. I can't wait to try it.


Ingredients:

500g of brisket
3-4 carrots
2 onions
4 potatoes
1 beef stock cube
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon black pepper


Peel and chop the vegetables. Since we're going to be mashing them it doesn't matter too much how you chop them. Put them in your slow cooker and rest the brisket on top.


Add the stock cube, pepper and bay leaf then add about 500ml of boiling water. Put the lid on and cook on LOW for about 6-8 hours.

Remove the brisket and leave to rest. Take all the vegetables out using a slotted spoon and place in a bowl.


Mash them up using some of the cooking liquid if it's too dry.


I made some gravy from the cooking liquid and served the Hutspot with the shredded brisket.


Mmm, this was a beautiful dish. The meat was tender and falling apart and it was great to have a mouthful of brisket along with the vegetable mash. It's a perfect, easy dish for a cold day. You can just leave it cooking and there's minimal effort needed before serving. I love it!
