There are many versions of Hutspot, this one was from Audrey Hepburn's family. She was born in the Flemish part of Belgium, hence the Dutch name. It was originally only the vegetables, but when times were good, meat would be added. This version is "met Klapstuk" (with beef). It can also be eaten with Rookworst (a Dutch smoked sausage) or with bacon.
