Bácska chicken livers

by | Feb 21, 2025 | Meat dishes

Bácskai csirkemáj, or Bácska chicken livers, is a traditional dish from the Bácska region, a historical area within the Pannonian Plain bordered by the Danube and Tisza rivers, now divided between Serbia and Hungary. This region is known for its rich agricultural heritage and diverse culinary traditions. The dish combines tender chicken livers with crispy smoked pork fat, aromatic vegetables and paprika, creating a hearty stew. It’s typically served with toasted egg barley noodles, known as “tarhonya,” which absorb the flavorful sauce. This recipe showcases the region’s culinary heritage, blending simple ingredients into a comforting and flavorful meal.

Hungarian cottage cheese

This is what Hungarian túró looks like

You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes. In Hungary the store-bought cottage cheese is dry and crumbly as you can see in the picture. So if a recipe calls for túró, I mean this type. If you can't obtain túró, you can try to make your own from whole milk. Click on the link below.

Metric system vs cup

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary. Since I’m not familiar with cup as a measurement unit, I convert grams to cups by using an online converter. The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
