Pásztortarhonya with smoked sausage and potatoes, sprinkled with fresh parsley

Pásztortarhonya

Pásztortarhonya is a true Hungarian classic, sitting comfortably between the simplicity and richness of rural kitchens. Tarhonya (egg barley), as a staple food, is an extremely nutritious and easy-to-prepare dish, often eaten by Hungarian shepherds while working in the fields. The delicate, eggy taste of tarhonya goes well with meat toppings and perfectly complements vegetables.

Traditionally, Pásztortarhonya is made with smoked meat or sausage, but it can also be prepared with other meats. The simplicity of the dish evokes the charm of rural life for many. The crumbly texture of tarhonya and the rich meaty flavors create a perfect dish that easily makes you forget even the hardest work.
