Pörkölt served with juicy chunks of meat in a spicy paprika sauce

Pörkölt

Pörkölt is one of the most well-known and beloved dishes of Hungarian cuisine. The preparation of Pörkölt is unique in every family, but it is fundamentally based on meat (most often beef, pork or chicken) and onions. Seasoning the meat is also very important, as the flavors of Pörkölt are enriched by garlic, pepper and other spices in addition to paprika. The dish is traditionally served with boiled potatoes, dumplings or pasta, and every bite perfectly combines the flavors of the spices and meat. Pörkölt has become a true national dish of Hungary, which restaurants as well as home kitchens like to prepare.

Pörkölt is true comfort food, which is the best choice after a long day if you want a rich, tasty meal.
