The Hortobágyi palacsinta is a savoury Hungarian pancake, filled with meat. Hungarian cuisine uses chicken stew as a filling.This dish originaly was a warm appetiser but now it served as a main course.
The pancakes are filled with the minced meat, tucking in the ends, and are baked in the oven with a paprika and sour cream (tejföl) sauce. Very delicious traditional recipe.
Main ingredient: chicken, onions, sweet pepper, tomato, paprika powder, sour cream. For the pancakes: milk, flour, egg, sparkling water.
