We often make főzelék, which is a special category in Hungarian cuisine and is a popular way to cook vegetables. Potatoes, which are cheap, easy to grow and packed with a variety of nutrients, can also be used for making főzelék. Sour cream potato stew is a simple, tasty dish; it’s made with roux and sour cream, and it goes well with pork patties or meatloaf.
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.
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.
