Creamy Pea Stew Recipe – Simple homemade pea stew served with fresh parsley and crispy toppings.

Pea Stew

Pea Stew is a true Hungarian dish, originally prepared in traditional rural kitchens, and now one of the most well-known side dishes in the country. The dish is based on fresh or frozen peas, enriched with a thick, milky or eggy base. Pea stew is an integral part of everyday life in Hungarian households, and is most often served with a meat dish, such as fried meat or meatballs.

The dish's history began in poor rural kitchens, where people tried to prepare simple ingredients in a variety of ways. Pea stew, however, is not only delicious but also nutritious, as peas are rich in fiber and vitamins. The addition of sour cream and egg gives it a special taste, while the dish remains light yet filling. Pea stew exudes a special and intimate atmosphere, and is a truly Hungarian dish.
