🍽️ What to Serve With Pörkölt?
This stew is traditionally served with:
- Nokedli (Hungarian dumplings) – soft and pillowy, perfect for soaking up the juices.
- Boiled potatoes or buttered egg noodles
- Even a crusty loaf of bread will do in a pinch!
Pair it with a crisp cucumber salad or a glass of dry red wine for the full experience.
