What it is
A classic Hungarian wild game stew, featuring tender chunks of venison simmered slowly in a rich, deeply flavored sauce with generous amounts of onion, paprika, and often a touch of red wine. Served with a simple side of steamed low-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Venison (deer, wild boar), onion, Hungarian paprika, lard or cooking oil, garlic, small amount of tomato paste, dry red wine (optional), bay leaf, salt, black pepper. Served with steamed broccoli or green beans.
If you order it anyway
Request no root vegetables (carrots, potatoes, parsnips) in the stew itself. Ensure no flour or starchy thickeners are used in the sauce. Specify plain steamed low-carb vegetables as a side instead of traditional starchy accompaniments.
If you order it anyway, say this (Hungarian)
Vadpörköltet kérek. Kérem, ne legyen gyökérzöldség, liszt vagy keményítős sűrítő a pörköltben. Köretnek sima párolt, szénhidrátmentes zöldséget kérnék.
I'd like the Vadpörkölt. Please ensure no root vegetables, flour, or starchy thickeners in the stew. I'd like plain steamed low-carb vegetables as a side.
Watch out for
Traditional recipes often include root vegetables (carrots, potatoes) and are thickened with flour or roux. Hidden sugars in tomato paste or red wine reduction. Restaurant portions of onion can be significant.
