A classic zuurkoolstamppot is a Dutch dish, very easy and made within half an hour. A simple mash, yum! Can be made without bacon.
There's no back in in stamppot zuurkool....it's served with smoked sausage or meatballs. 
Hi JJ, zuurkool stamppot isn't traditionally served with smoked sausage or meatballs. I think you mean boerenkool stamppot :) 
Yes, it is. Zuurkool stamppot is usually served with 'rookworst'.
It's often served with rookworst, absolutely. But it can also be served with a pork chop or any other piece of meat, where boerenkool is almost always served with rookworst (thats classic). And this recipe is for the mash only and that has to have bacon in it (where the original comment was all about). 
We love our zuurkool stamppot with a crisp fried, in butter of cause, pork lion chop. Love a chop with a lot of fat and the skin crisp as well.
Ah yes, totally agree Gerri! :) 
That absolutely looks delicious and my grandma used to make that . Will make this for sure ! Where here in Canada can I get the real Dutch rookworst?
Hi Gina, you can order all kinds of Dutch foods from https://www.dutchexpatshop.com/en/unox-beef-smoked-sausage.html . I'm not sure if they ship everything at the moment, because of COVID-19 . 
In regards to the rookworst, I use farmer's sausage. My favourite brand is "Harvest" double smoke farmers sausage and I can get it at Costco. 
Where in Canada are you, CMP (Country Meat Packing) is in Ontario (between Cambridge and Dundas) and they specialize in European style meats. They’re products are usually found in Dutch deli’s 
We got it at Sobey’s It is called Mennonite Farmer Sausage and it is from Grimm’s fine foods. We also saw them at Walmart. They are like the Hema worst if anybody remembers. I am Dutch an came to Canada in 79. live in Edmonton area. 
I serve my zuurkoolstamp met Turkey Kielbasa! Yum!
I recently had Kielbasa sausages for the first time, they're indeed a great combi with zuurkoolstamp! Have a great evening! 
Even as a Dutch-born Canadian I don't buy into the you must serve Rookworst with a Stamppot. We had our stamppot mostly with pork chops and sometimes Rookworst for sure. In my opinion one should serve it with the protein of choice and that's what I do. In the last few years I've served a stamppot with English Banger sausages, which is my favourite pork sausage.
Thank you for your comment John, couldn't agree more! Sausages, rookworst, pork chops, meat balls, all is great with a 'zuurkoolstamppot' indeed! Have a great day 
Hello from an Englishman in Hungary.
I have made this a couple of times with Hungarian Fasirt , and also with the local Blood sausage.
Both were excellent, thanks for the recipe.
Hello from a Dutchie in France. That sounds amazing, thank you that's lovely to hear! Have a great day :)
Hi Dutchie, i also twisted things one time.
Cringe ? when the "Garlic Zuurkoolstamppot" was ready i put it in a Pyrex dish covered in sliced fresh tomatos and covered with cheddar and baked until golden.
Also was wonderful.
The beauty of the rules of cooking is there are no rules.
Keep up the good work.
Regards Bonga
Totally agree, there are no rules. Only if you want to call something a 'classic dish' there are some standards. With tomatoes and cheese also sounds amazing! Thank you, greetings Véronique 
Most of the time we (Dutch) add bayleaf (laurel) amd juniper and sometimes black pepper (the whole pepper seeds) and cook that with the sauerkraut. If you want the sauerkraut to taste a little less Sauer then you can cook it in appeljuice. And a nice piece of rookworst or a meatball with gravy is also a must! If you have leftover zuurkoolstamppot ;-) Bake it in a pan with butter and it tastes even better then the day you made it. We have a custom to put backed leftover zuurkoolstamppot on our bread! Yummie!
Hi Liesbeth, you can use 'kruiden zuurkool' but the classic dish is with plain 'zuurkool'. You can vary a lot, of course! And yes, you can serve rookworst, meatballs, pork shops or any other protein to go with this 'stamppot'. I'm Dutch too, but leftover zuurkoolstamppot on our bread, never heard of it. Other kinds of stamppot, yes :-)
