I am part Hungarian and grew up with many of the traditions, food and culture! Truly one of the best memories of my childhood was being in my grandmother’s kitchen and learning how to cook dishes and keep the Hungarian tradition in my family. Here is an article below giving the other 10 reasons!
Does anyone really need a reason to try Hungarian food? Well, if convincing is what you’re after, consider this. Hungarian cuisine has been influenced by the French, Germans, Italians and Turks, not to mention the Polish, Slavs and Asians. The result is a rich blend of one-pot meals cooked for hours over open fires and pastries that would put Vienna to shame. Take your palate on a magic carpet ride with these 10 recipes from Hungary.

Kohlrabi is the darling of the Eastern European vegetable garden. Ugly duckling though it might be and a cross between a cabbage and a turnip, kohlrabi keeps well over the long, cold European winters, and finds its way into many recipes. This creamy soup is kohlrabi elevated to a gift from the gods.
Hungarian Pork with Rice or Serteshus Rizzsel is comfort food of the highest order with a combination of sweet Hungarian paprika, green peppers, tomatoes and onion. Best of all, the rice cooks right in the same pot with the other ingredients.
This recipe for Hungarian goulash soup or gulyas leves is hearty enough to be eaten as a main course with rye bread. This soup benefits from a long, slow cook and is actually a goulash, which is a stew, to which more liquid has been added.
This hearty dish of Hungarian sausage, potatoes and hard-cooked eggs or rakott burgonya can be served as a luncheon dish with a crisp, green salad, as a main course, or as an accompaniment. It makes a great potluck dish, too.
Hungarian stacked pancakes or Rakott Palacsinta are a delightful change from the mundane. They’re filled with fruit fillings, custards, flavored cream cheeses, sweetened nuts or whatever you like best.
Hungarian Chicken Paprikash or Csirke Paprikas is the perfect excuse to eat carbs. The sour cream-rich meal wouldn’t be the same without some type of noodle or dumpling. This one-pot dish is another candidate for the slow cooker and potlucks.
Hungarian Beef Goulash or marha gulas is a one-pot wonder that frees you to go off and do other things while it bubbles away. It’s perfect for a slow cooker and makes another great potluck dish.
This poor man’s strudel, made with cabbage instead of apples, is an unexpected delight. When the cabbage is sauteed and combined with sugar and raisins, you’d never know the difference!
Hungarian pancakes or Palacsinta can be made with or without sugar for sweet or savory fillings. These crepe-like, paper-thin pancake make a great base for creamed meats, seafood and vegetables, and fruits, custards and mousses.
Hungarian Stuffed Peppers or Toltott Paprika cook up moist in a slow cooker, but do just as well on the stovetop or in the oven. It’s a great busy-day meal.
