🍽️ Tarhonya – Hungarian Grated Egg Noodles 🇭🇺


👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Toast the Tarhonya:

  • Heat fat in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
  • Add the tarhonya and toast it, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown. This gives it a wonderful nutty flavor.

2. Add Liquid:

  • Carefully pour in hot water or broth (it will steam!).
  • Add salt, stir, and bring to a simmer.

3. Cook Covered:

  • Lower the heat and cover the pot.
  • Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed and tarhonya is tender.
  • If needed, add a bit more water to avoid sticking or burning.

4. Fluff and Serve:

  • Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and let it sit a few minutes.
  • Serve as a side dish with paprikash, goulash, pörkölt, or fried eggs.

🍳 Optional Add-Ins:

  • Sautéed onions or garlic (added during toasting)
  • Stir in peas, mushrooms, or cooked sausage
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving
