Hortobágyi palacsinta

This savory pancake is a specialty of the Hungarian cuisine. It is filled with meat (typically veal) which is prepared like a stew – sautéed with tomatoes, onions, spices, and (sometimes) mushrooms. The pancakes are first filled with the combination of meat and vegetables, then tucked at the ends and baked in the oven with sour cream and paprika. After the baking, the dish is usually garnished with chopped parsley. Although the dish is named Hortobágyi palacsinta, it is believed that it does not have anything to do with Hortobágy nor the Great Hungarian Plain, as it was invented for the 1958 Brussels World Fair. However, there are some Hungarian cookbooks from the 1930s featuring a similar, but not quite the same recipe.
