Brrrr, are you guys just as cold as I am these days? I sure am and as I am not feeling 100% this week, I decided to make me some comfort and power food. I was really craving a hot boerenkool stampot aka kale hash served with a lot of gravy on top. I did add a little twist to it, an Asian twist, as I was cooking for the Koken met aanbiedingen app. Yep it was time for another recipe and thats why I came up with Boerenkool stamppot with an Indonesian meatball, sort of 😉

My mother in law will nodd and say “this” must go in and oh oh.. you forgot to add this, but in this post I will add the additional steps I learnt from her. Actually this meatball is normally served next to Gado Gado. So now I give you inspiration to cook not one, but two dishes, right ;)!
