Hortobágyi Palacsinta
Spend a few days in Hungary and you’ll realize that the country’s cuisine is not only delicious and satisfying, but very creative. Hortobágyi Palacsinta, or stuffed pancakes, is an excellent example of the ingenuity of Hungarian cuisine: meat (usually chicken or veal) is mixed together with onions, paprika, and other spices, and stuffed into a pancake. After being baked, they are then covered with a creamy paprika sauce and served hot.
Lángos
Hearty comfort food isn’t all that Hungarian is known for, as the country also has a plethora of unique street food items worthy of a chef’s kiss. First up on the list are Lángos, a deep-fried flatbread that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They’re great on their own, but are typically paired with sour cream, garlic, and onion. Try this Hungarian street food for a quick and savory treat that satisfies cravings and leaves you wanting more!
Stuffed Peppers
Witness Hungary’s commitment to bold and flavorful cuisine by tasting Töltött Paprika (Stuffed Peppers). Töltött Paprika starts with fresh bell peppers that are filled with a mixture of ground meat, rice, onions, and various spices. The peppers are then simmered in a tomato-based sauce until tender. Using farm-to-fork, simple ingredients, this hearty meal will leave your tastebuds happy and your stomach full.
Chicken Paprikash
One of Hungary’s most beloved comfort foods is Chicken Paprikash, a dish that features tender chicken smothered in a rich, paprika-infused gravy. You’ll often see this dish served alongside egg noodles or dumplings. The real star of the dish is the flavorful sauce, which gets its signature taste and aroma from paprika (a spice that is very special to Hungarian cuisine).
