Instructions
- 1.
- Add the chopped potatoes and garlic to a high pan and fill it with tap water until the potatoes are fully submerged.
- 2.
- Add some salt.
- Then place the pan over high heat and bring the potatoes to a boil.
- Cook them until tender.
- In the meantime rinse and drain the savoy cabbage.
- Slice it up finely.
- 3.
- Add a tablespoon of butter to a large non-stick pan.
- Place it over medium-high heat.
- Once melted, add the savoy cabbage.
- Season with a pinch of pepper and salt.
- 4.
- Stir fry the cabbage for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cabbage is soft and tender.
- Then turn the heat off and take the cabbage off the heat.
- In the meantime, pan fry the sausages (or sliced bacon if you are using both) in a non-stick pan in a tablespoon of butter or oil until golden brown and cooked through.
- 5.
- Transfer the sausages (and bacon) to a plate and cover with a lid or tinfoil to keep the meat warm.
- In the same greasy pan, add the sliced onion and extra butter and cook it gently over medium heat for 10 minutes until softened.
- (I often add diced bacon as well, if I only serve the stoemp with sausages.
- ) 6.
- Then add the beer and turn the heat up.
- Let the beer reduce until you get a nice beer and onion sauce (you can add a little flour or sauce thickener if you like).
- Add the pan fried meat back to the pan and cover to keep warm.
- 7.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and garlic, add them back to the pan you cooked them in together with the pan fried cabbage and chopped parsley.
- Sprinkle with some pepper, salt and nutmeg.
- Also add the milk and the rest of the unsalted butter.
- 8.
- Mash the potatoes, parsley and cabbage up.
- Add extra butter or milk if necessary.
- Also check the seasoning and add extra pepper, nutmeg or salt to taste if necessary.
- Scoop the cabbage mash onto plates and top with the pan fried sausages (and bacon).
- Drizzle with the beer and onion sauce.
- Serve hot.
