Belgian Potato and Carrot Mash

Mashed potato dish with carrots, also known as "stoemp" or "potée aux carottes" in Belgium. Delicious when served with gravy.

Serve with vegan gravy

This simple potato and carrot mash pairs really well with my vegan gravy. The gravy is made from dried dried porcini mushrooms and cashew nut but it doesn't actually taste like mushroom. It has a slightly sweet taste due tot the addition of apple-pear fruit syrup and spices such as cinnamon.

Vegan Gravy with a Belgian Twist

Thick and creamy vegan porcini gravy with Belgian apple-pear fruit syrup. Only 15 minutes preparation time. Serve with mashed potatoes for a filling dinner.

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

• 1 large onion or 2 small onions
• 1 kg potatoes I use the Nicola variety
• 600 g carrots
• olive oil
• 150 ml white wine
• 400 ml water
• 1 ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

• Peel and dice the onion.
• Peel the carrots and the potatoes. Cut in 1cm-large pieces*. 
• Heat a large pot with olive oil. When hot, add then onion and sauté until translucent. 
• Add the carrots and caramelize over medium-high for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and let cook for 5 minutes. Stir regularly and make sure the vegetables don't stick to the pot.
• Deglaze with white wine. Simmer 3 minutes over medium-high heat. The wine should completely evaporate.
• Add the water. Cover with a lid and reduce to medium heat. Let cook 25 minutes with the lid on. Remove the lid and cook 10 more minutes.
• Season with salt and roughly mash with a potato masher. 

Notes

*Make sure the pieces are not too small but also not large for them to cook evenly.

**Serve with my vegan gravy (here).
