Pörkölt is a traditional Hungarian stew made primarily from meat, onions, and a variety of spices, most notably paprika. It is often prepared with beef, pork, or chicken, and is known for its rich, flavorful sauce. The dish is typically served with nokedli, a type of egg noodle, or bread to soak up the sauce. This hearty meal is a staple in Hungarian cuisine and is often enjoyed at family gatherings and celebrations. Variations of pörkölt can be found in neighboring countries, reflecting the dish's popularity and cultural significance in Central Europe.
