This delicious creamy Dutch boerenkoolstamppot (aka kale hotchpot) with bacon crispy baked in hoisin sauce, with coconut milk and curry paste has all the spices for a delicious flavor palate. Highly recommended!
"Fried onions ??? In a kale hotchpot. Mom, you can't be serious. This is truly one of the strangest combinations that you've made so far." Thus the conversation was started by the eldest when I came to the table with this dish. That did not start well.
Luckily my kids often try the food, even though they really have their preferences. And to their surprise, this Asian boerenkoolstamppot with bacon was very tasty, especially with the fried crispy onions which were on top.
They thought it was even tastier than the normal kale stew with sausage.
And they even admitted it. One zero for the mums and so there you have it: fried onions with boerenkoolstamppot is a good combination.
