Join me (Marti) as I do a little traditional Hungarian cooking for a family event today. Although this isn't a 'travel' video, it DOES feature a traditional international food that you might encounter when traveling in the country of Hungary! Learn about Hungarian staples, special tools you can use to make Hungarian food, and get a new recipe for your repertoire!

HALUSHKA:
3 large raw potatoes, peeled (I used 5 for this extra large batch)
1 tbsp salt
4 eggs, beaten
2-3 cups flour (use 2 and reserve the 3rd in case you don't need it)
1 large head of cabbage
4-5 tbsp bacon lard
salt and pepper to taste

Chop and grate potates; I 'grate' with a food processor but you can also use a cheese grater. Grate until they are almost emulsified. Beat in salt and eggs. Add enough flour to make a soft dough.

Finely chop cabbage (I also used a food processor). Brown cabbage in bacon lard until golden, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Boil a large pot of water. Drop the dough into the boiling water by teaspoon (I used my handy-dandy gadget). Cook for 4-5 minutes until the dumpling is firm - it will float to the top when cooked. Drain and add to a large bowl. Mix the dumplings with the cooked cabbage and season to taste. I usually add a ton more salt! Serve hot!
