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. The recipe is simple but delicious, and it's best if the meats are slowly braised to allow the flavors to meld together. This dish is an ideal choice for family lunches or any occasion where a true Hungarian meal is needed.
