It’s actually a Flemish recipe so that’s the Dutch speaking region of Belgium called Flanders. It’s right next door though and the recipe is fairly popular here in the Netherlands as well. My favorite beer bar in Amsterdam serves it.
Traditional Netherlands cuisine is hearty and satisfying, but nothing to write home about. The national dish is called stamppot and is basically mashed potatoes smashed up with another vegetable (commonly carrots, sauerkraut, kale, or endive) and usually something like sauteed onion and maybe little bits of bacon. Then you top it with a smoked sausage and a dollop of beef gravy.
It’s a style of cooking that feels like it was invented to make it through a particularly Dickensian winter a few hundred years ago and the country never really iterated much from there. That’s probably why you rarely run into a place abroad serving “Dutch food” unless it’s something like poffertjes or stroopwafels.
No problem, hope you enjoy it!
