What it is
A robust and traditional Hungarian stew, featuring slow-cooked pork hock (trotters) braised until incredibly tender in a rich sauce of onions, generous paprika, and a hint of tomato, yielding a gelatinous and deeply flavorful pörkölt. Served with a side of plain steamed green beans.
Key ingredients
Pork hock (trotters), onion, lard/oil, Hungarian paprika, tomato paste (small amount), garlic, caraway seeds, broth, salt, pepper, green beans.
If you order it anyway
Ensure no flour or starch is used for thickening. Request steamed low-carb vegetables (e.g., green beans) instead of traditional carby sides like pasta, potatoes, or bread.
If you order it anyway, say this (Hungarian)
A Körömpörkölthöz a szószba kérem, ne tegyenek lisztet vagy keményítőt. Köretnek párolt alacsony szénhidráttartalmú zöldséget kérnék, tészta, krumpli vagy kenyér helyett.
For the Körömpörkölt, please ensure no flour or starch in the sauce. I'd like steamed low-carb vegetables instead of pasta, potatoes, or bread.
Watch out for
Flour/starch used for thickening, high onion content, hidden sugars in tomato paste.
