Stump with Brussels sprouts is a traditional Belgian dish that symbolizes the coziness of home cooking. Its roots go back to the past when simple yet nutritious ingredients formed the basis of everyday meals. Creamy mashed potatoes combined with tender Brussels sprouts and aromatic ham create a harmonious blend of flavors: the softness of potatoes, the slight bitterness of cabbage, and a rich meaty note. The addition of cream and butter makes the dish's texture especially delicate. Stump is often served as a standalone dish, complemented by fresh herbs or sour pickles to highlight its flavor nuances. Perfect for cold evenings, it evokes family traditions and the warmth of home.
