Told myself after finishing Volume 4 “no more I’m fed up with it!” But with some rest started up the engines again so begun (or is it began now doubt there must be a better word for that) with (post) production of Volume 5. Have still lots and lost of untouched originals in my archive and planning some new shootings. Its just too much fun to produce it can’t resist its stronger then….

Code name Volume 5
“Boerenkool Stampot
Ingredients:
1 kg (2 Lbs) potatoes (about 6)
2 t salt (for the water for the potatoes)
1 kg (2 #s) curly type kale
500 g (1 lb) smoked sausage
300 ml (1¼ C) milk
250 g (½ lb) lean, smoked, bacon (in one big slab [if you can find it])
4 T butter
1 T Vinegar (optional)
Preparation:
• Kale: Wash, peel away any really tough viens and finely chop
• Potatoes: Wash, peel, cube (1 cm: ½ inch) and wash (again – to remove excess starch)
• Put both into a big saucepan (or a pot), with some water and a little salt (mainly for the potatoes [¾ covered]; and yes, the kale will float around on top)
• Bacon & sausage: on top of this
• Bring to a boil
◦ Simmer low for 30 minutes (to soften the potatoes)
• Remove the bacon and sausage.
◦ Cube the bacon (1 cm: ½ inch),
◦ Slice the sausage in pretty diagonals (½ cm: ¼ inch thick).
• Drain the potatoes and kale
◦ Add butter, milk and vinegar (yes, use the vinegar – it’s odd but adds a special touch)
• Mash (stamp [in Dutch]) the potatoes
• Put into a pre-warmed dish with the bacon and sausage pieces on top
Serve.”
