Pork and Rice Stew
Pork and Rice Stew is a true family favorite, combining the traditions of Hungarian cuisine with the rich flavors of rice and meat. The dish is based on a classic pörkölt (stew) base, complemented by rice and spices. The rice perfectly absorbs the juices of the meat, making every bite a truly mouthwatering experience.
Various meats can be chosen to prepare pork and rice stew, but pork is most commonly used. The rich, spicy pörkölt is first allowed to tenderize the meat, and then, by mixing in the rice, we get a dish that is satisfying and nourishing for the whole family.
