NOTES
1. What is Dutch stamppot? Dutch stamppot is mashed potatoes with vegetables stirred through it. It is a classic Dutch dinner and can be made with different greens, like kale, sauerkraut, endive, or arugula.
2. Is arugula stamppot traditional? Arugula stamppot is a modern version of Dutch stamppot. The method is still Dutch: potatoes are mashed and greens are stirred through the mash.
3. Can I cook the salmon in a skillet instead of a grill pan? Yes, you can cook the salmon in a skillet. You will not get grill marks, but the garlic and rosemary still give great flavor.
4. Why use potato cooking liquid? The cooking liquid makes the stamppot smooth and adds flavor. The onion, salt, and peppercorns cook in that same water.
5. Storage
- Refrigerator: store the salmon and stamppot in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. Use within 1 day for the best texture.
- Reheating: reheat the stamppot gently with a splash of water or saved cooking liquid. Warm the salmon briefly and gently, so it does not dry out.
