This dish traditionally goes with a piece of slow-cooking beef called 'klapstuk.' My dictionary says 'rib of beef' but I'm not sure that's the right word.
In Holland, it's sometimes eaten with a side dish of split peas or lentils, or other beans (like white beans) are mixed in - I personally think the mixed-in beans make the taste a bit dull.
