HeliosMayer Tibor and Veress Ferenc Chef's recommendation, from Hunguest Hotels

 

Ingredients (4 servings)

  • Veress FerencMayer Tibor1/2 kg veal round
  • 1/2 kg porcini mushrooms
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1,5 dl dry white wine
  • 2 dl vegetable broth
  • 2 dl cream
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Borjuragu

Preparation
1. Heat the mixture of butter and olive oil and fry the veal cut into small but equal sized pieces, seasoned with salt and pepper in advance, and the finely chopped parsley and garlic.
2.If every side of the meat cubes turned brown, pour the white wine and half of the vegetable broth. Cook over medium heat and half-covered until almost tender. Check it sometimes and pour some broth in it if it is not enough.
3. In the meantime clean the mushrooms, cut them and add them when the meat is almost ready. Pour in the remaining vegetable broth and cook it until it is ready.

5. Serve it with freshly chopped parsley.

Dödölle of Zala
2 kg potatoes, salt according to taste, 2 onions 2 dl oil, 50 decagram flour

This meal evokes my childhood, the free, barefoot summer times. My grandmother made it for me, whenever I wanted to. It is cheap, fast and very filling food. At the end of the month it stands everyone in good stead.

Peel the potatoes cut them into small pieces, pour salty water over them to cover and cook them. Mash the cooked potatoes over the heat then sprinkle with flour and start to knead with a wooden spoon. It is a bit tiring procedure. It is OK if the batter is hard enough and the flour is completely worked off – it can be more or less, it depends on the quality of the potatoes- and our forehead is sweating. Turn off the cooker.
Cut the onions into small cubes and fry them in oil until pink. Take a bigger pot and start to cut the ‘dödölle’ batter into big dumpling-shapes, then sprinkle with the onion and fat. If it is ready, serve it. It is very delicious freshly with sour cream, but if you have to warm it, fry it in a pan until it is crispy and serve it with some salad. Enjoy your meal!
