3rd of October

The 3rd of October is something I like to celebrate. Even though it is a celebration typical to the city of Leiden, celebrating the departure of the Spaniards, and I an living right in the middle of these Spaniards, it is nice to celebrate the past and a good excuse to go into the kitchen and make some hutspot.

It is a story that I like to tell my Spanish friends. The story on how the city where I was born, Leiden withstood and displaced a heavy siege by the Spanish occupiers. After sending the Spanish back home they left an empty encampment which contained a big pot of hutspot, a dish made with potatoes, carrots, onions and a smoked sausage.

Every year on the 3rd of October every inhabitant of Leiden celebrates and usually eats hutspot. I also try and keep this tradition in honor, even thou I moved to a different country and it is difficult to find a smoked sausage here.

The nice news is that a Suske and Wiske comic is being published. The topic is the suffering Leiden. I used to be a bog fan of the Suske and Wiske series and although I stopped reading around the comic number 200 I will for sure get this one (number 314). I wonder if Suske and Wiske will still be the same or if commercial interest have also entered the world of these comics.

The story should be placed around the year 1574, so for sure some time travel will be involved. On the cover I see the strong Jerommeke looking like a Spaniard who is just preparing a typical pot of green hutspot. I am curious about the recipe, because normally the color is orange. Suske and Wiske are with the underdog, the people of Leiden, who for sure will end up victorious. For sure it will be a classical story.

If you are also curious you will need to be patient. In august the new album will be released, although you can already pre-order it at the october 3rd association.

Het was weer tijd. Zo rond 3 oktober moet er hutspot gemaakt worden. Dit keer een ander recept als vorig jaar. Dat toevoegen van melk sloeg helemaal nergens op.

De ingrediënten:
· 300gr Wortelen
· 300gr Aardappelen
· 200gr Uien
· Boter
· Rookworst

De benodigde kruiden:
· Zout
· Peper

De handelswijze:
Hak de wortels en aardappels in grove stukken. Hak de uien flink fijn. Kook de massa samen voor 30 minuten. Voeg hieraan redelijk wat zout toe.
Na een half uur afgieten en fijnprakken. Zo hier en daar een stukje wortel of aardappel laten zitten is perfect. Voeg een klont boter toe en wat peper en dan goed mengen. Serveer met de rookworst.

Het resultaat:
Bijzonder goed te eten!!!

Hutspot

Leiden was liberated from an occupation by the Spaniards on the 3rd of October in 1574. After seeing the Spaniards flee away the people from Leiden regained their courage, looted the empty campgrounds and found a big pot of food! This food is still traditionally prepared every year around the 3rd of October to celebrate the freedom we gained when the Spaniards left with their tails between their legs!

Preparing it the easy way, for two persons.
Ingredients:
· 300 gram potatoes
· 250 gram carrots
· 250 gram onions
· little bit of butter
· 1/4 a cup of milk
· salt & pepper
· smoked sausage

Preparation:
Clean the potatoes, unions and carrots. Cut the potatoes, unions and carrots into small pieces, and put them in a pan with a little bit of water. Cook the chopped potatoes, unions and carrots for about 20 minutes.

Poor the water out of the pan, and smash everything up, and mix it real good. While mixing add a little bit of butter and the milk, some salt and some pepper.

Put it on a plate and add the smoked sausage (which needs to be heated in advance). Note, the sausage is the biggest contribution in flavor, so get a tasty one :-p.

Enjoy!
