Butcher's Stew (Hentes Tokány)

Butcher's Stew is one of the most popular traditional dishes in Hungarian cuisine. Tokány is a dish that can be prepared with a variety of meats, but the version made by butchers is particularly popular. The combination of fresh meat, spices, and braised onions provides a flavor experience that is a real refreshment even at the end of the toughest day.

The rich, flavorful gravy of butcher's stew goes perfectly with fresh bread or even pasta.
