📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Főzelék is a uniquely Hungarian vegetable dish: peas, squash, potatoes, lentils, or other vegetables are cooked and thickened with a roux of flour and fat or with sour cream. Somewhere between a soup and a stew, it's topped with sausage or a fried egg.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At an old-fashioned Budapest canteen, a creamy pale-green vegetable stew is served topped with sausage.
