Főzelék

Főzelék is a thick vegetable stew originating from Hungary. Although it can be prepared with most vegetables, it's usually made with peas, spinach, lentils, potatoes, or cabbage as the main ingredient, along with a combination of onions, butter or lard, and flour, milk, or sour cream for thickening. It is believed that főzelék has been prepared in Hungary since the 16th century. Nowadays, it's usually served on its own on weekdays, and as an accompaniment to meat on festive days.
