stadgander

Stadgander is a traditional Dutch dish originating from the province of Friesland. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, typically including potatoes, carrots, onions, and sometimes other vegetables like cabbage or leeks. The dish is often cooked with a combination of meat and fish, such as smoked sausage, bacon, or smoked fish like herring or mackerel. The stew is usually seasoned with herbs and spices, and sometimes includes a touch of cream or milk for added richness.

Stadgander is typically served as a main course, often accompanied by bread or a side salad. It is a popular dish during the winter months, as the ingredients are readily available and the stew provides warmth and comfort. The dish has a long history in Friesland, with recipes dating back to the 17th century. Today, it remains a beloved staple in Dutch cuisine, particularly in the northern regions.
