When I told my friend Leslie that I was planning to make stamp pot for dinner, she said, "I think you're the only other person I know who knows what stamp pot is." Basically, it's mashed potatoes with kale, onion, and sausage. (I'm sensing a European theme of sausage, kale and potatoes.)
It seems like there are a variety of preparation methods for stamp pot - some including bacon. I cut up potatoes and started them boiling for 15 minutes, added the chopped kale for another 10 minutes and set that to drain. Then I melted the butter and sauteed the onion, added back in the drained vegetables and mashed everything, stirring in about 1/2 cup of milk. Add in sliced sausage (I heated mine up in the oven but the recipe I had suggested steaming) and salt and pepper to taste and there you go - stamp pot. It was quite tasty. I divided the remainder up into four tupperware containers, so I have stamp pot for 4 meals and 1 more container of chicken curry. That will get me through Friday dinner (no surprise we're going out for pho).
So I guess I'll be making more kale-walnut pesto and freezing it because the stamp pot didn't use up all my kale and I'm already stirring berries into my yogurt for breakfast. Today's newsletter from the farm said we'll be getting kale or swiss chard in our boxes this week - I'm kind of rooting for swiss chard in mine. And my neighbor is leaving town, so I'm getting his pak choi (more curry) and basil (more pesto).

Wow, that Leslie sounds really wordly and culinary-minded as well! :)
Now I am craving stamppot. Gee, thanks! Guess what I will be making next weekend...
you don't know me... i just googled stumple/stamp pot and found your blog! my mum got a recipe like this from a dutch friend of hers and we looooved it growing up! its slightly different and we never had it with kale. we would actually boil the sausages first and then put the vegetables in the sausage water after so it adds to the flavour! mmm! cool to see others eating this! comfort food :)
