Spooky Scottish Rumbledethumps – Vegan Cabbage & Potato Gratin with Cheese Sausages

Scotland – Hearty Comfort Food from the Scottish Borders Scotland is famous for its rugged landscapes, rich traditions and hearty cuisine. Root vegetables, potatoes and cabbage have long played an important role in Scottish home cooking, particularly in the Scottish Borders, where simple, warming dishes are a treasured part of culinary heritage. What Is Rumbledethumps? Rumbledethumps is a traditional Scottish dish made from mashed potatoes, cabbage and onions, usually finished with a generous layer of cheese. Often compared to Irish Colcannon or English Bubble and Squeak, it can be served as a vegetarian main course or as a side dish alongside hearty meat dishes and sausages. This Halloween-inspired vegan version adds Brussels sprouts, layers of savoy cabbage and a playful spiderweb topping.

Belgian Brussels Sprout Salad – Warm Vegan Salad with Caramelized Walnuts & Pomegranate

Belgium – A Country of Regional Culinary Traditions Belgium is famous for much more than waffles, chocolate and fries. Its regional cuisine combines French and Flemish influences with hearty home cooking, seasonal vegetables and flavorful sauces. Brussels sprouts have a particularly strong historical association with the region around Brussels, while warm salads are a familiar part of Belgian culinary tradition. What Is Belgian Brussels Sprout Salad? This warm Brussels sprout salad is inspired by Salade Liégeoise, a traditional dish from the Liège region commonly prepared with green beans, potatoes, bacon and a tangy dressing. My Via Veggie Vegan version replaces those vegetables with tender Brussels sprout leaves, uses vegan ham instead of bacon and adds caramelized walnuts, pomegranate seeds and two edible pizza dough ghosts. It is a creative Belgian-inspired variation rather than a traditional Salade Liégeoise.

Spruitjessoep – Belgian Brussels Sprout Soup

Belgium – A Country of Culinary Comfort Belgium may be famous for its waffles, chocolate and fries, but its culinary traditions also include hearty vegetable dishes, warming soups and comforting home cooking. Brussels sprouts have a particularly close historical connection with the region around Brussels, where they have been cultivated for centuries. These little green cabbages eventually became known internationally by the name of the Belgian capital. What Is Spruitjessoep? Spruitjessoep simply means Brussels sprout soup in Dutch, one of Belgium's official languages. There is no single definitive recipe: variations may include potatoes, onions, stock and cream. My Belgian-inspired version combines a silky Brussels sprout and potato soup with oat cream, nutritional yeast, crispy vegan ham and roasted sprouts. Maple-glazed Brussels sprout skewers add a slightly sweet, caramelized finishing touch.
