Easy dinner: carb, veggie and meat

An easy lunch has to be followed by an easy dinner. Well actually the easy lunch gave me plenty of time to make a killer dinner, but my body is still resting; recharging for Monday. Since very meal has to have some kind of carb, veggie and meat I went for this very very easy one pot has it all dish, which is actually typical Dutch.

We call it hutspot. It’s a dish for cold winter days, but as Summer hasn’t really came this year I thought why not. And my carrots has to be eaten before they turn bad so the choice was easily made.
I used 8 or 9 potatoes, 6-7 carrots, 3 big onions (I didn’t use all 5 since they didn’t all fit in my pot) and one long “fresh” sausage.
I pealed the potatoes, the onions and the carrots and chopped them in equal big pieces so they cook evenly. Then I added one cube of bouillon and some salt and pepper. I cooked everything till the carrots and potatoes were soft.

In the meantime I fried the sausage in a bit of oil till it was nice and golden brown. 
With a potato masher I mashed everything together. Since everything tasted good already I didn’t had to add any extra salt.

Taraaaa! There you have it; today’s easy dinner. And it was sure tasty, we all came back for seconds!

  8. I wish I could say I made the sausage myself, but I didn’t. It’s still on my “to do list”. For now I can only imagine how wonderful my homemade sausage will be. This “fresh” sausage was pretty good though.
    Every time I eat the potato/carrot/onion combo it strikes me how good it taste together. I need to eat it more often!
