Treat your ingredients with care...
- Dutch sausages — Use a variety of sausages such as rookworst or Gelderse rookworst for an authentic Dutch flavor.
- Gouda cheese — Opt for aged Gouda for a stronger and nuttier taste.
- Canned baked beans — Rinse the beans under cold water before adding them to the stew to reduce the sodium content.
- Canned mushrooms — If you prefer a fresher taste, substitute canned mushrooms with sliced fresh mushrooms.
- Corn — For a sweeter flavor, use fresh corn kernels instead of canned corn.
Tips & Tricks
- Customize the spiciness by adjusting the amount of gochujang according to your preference.
- Feel free to add other Dutch ingredients like potatoes or carrots for extra heartiness.
- Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for another delicious meal.
- If you can't find Dutch sausages, substitute with your favorite local sausages for a unique twist.
