Salmbuc |
Dinner is again at the center of the day. This time it is Salmbuc. Our friends, with whom we have been staying in Hajdú made the effort to cook a traditional Hungarian food. Salmbuc is a hearty shepherd food made with thin sheets of pasta, potato, and bacon cooked for hours in a cauldron over an open fire. It stands out in Hungarian cuisine in that it does not use paprika powder as one of its key ingredients; the dish dates back to a time before paprika became available in the country. There is far more flavor than the simple ingredients suggest.
