Citromsavkörbe

Citromsavkörbe, a Hungarian term, translates to "citric acid baskets." This refers to a culinary preparation involving fruits, most commonly citrus, hollowed out and filled with a sweet or savory mixture. The hollowed-out fruit acts as a natural, edible serving vessel.

The concept often appears in desserts. For example, oranges or grapefruits can be halved, the pulp scooped out, and the rind then refilled with ingredients like fruit salad, mousse, custard, or even ice cream. The original fruit pulp might be incorporated into the filling or served alongside.

Savory applications are also possible, though less common. Small melons or gourds could potentially be adapted for this purpose, filled with items like grain salads or stuffed vegetables. The preparation emphasizes presentation, turning the fruit itself into an attractive and functional part of the dish. It's a technique that allows for creative ingredient combinations and a visually appealing serving method.
