    Stoofpot = possibly my new favorite Dutch word.

    Around this time of year, especially if it’s cold, windy, and rainy (like it’s been here lately), I start thinking about Holland.

    Admittedly, the food is not what comes springing to mind when you think of the Netherlands (and what they pass off as “pizza” is a goddamned crime). It’s very… homey: sausage, potatoes, kale, bread, etc. And if you’re there — as we were — in December, when it’s rainy (it almost never snows there) and windy (which is almost always), it’s perfect.

    So, last night, I made Limburgse stoofpot van lamsvlees — lamb stew Maastricht-style. What makes it “Maastricht-style”? I have no idea, but it was still good.

    Recipe (adapted from GoDutch.com) is under the cut.
