Hungarian
Main
This hungarian stew is a cheap and easy to cook meal that has surprisingly complex flavours. It is the ideal meal for a cold winter's night or when you just need a warming meal. This recipe comes from a hungarian man i used to work with and is one of my go-to-recipes for when i just need some healthy comfort food. Serve with noodles or pasta and a bit of soured cream.
