Felkockázott

Felkockázott is a Hungarian culinary term used to describe ingredients that have been cut into small cubes. It functions as an adjective or past participle, typically appearing before the noun it describes, as in felkockázott paprika, felkockázott hagyma, or felkockázott krumpli. The word is formed from kocka (cube) with the participial suffix -zott and the prefix fel-. In cooking, felkockázott items are common in recipes and ingredient lists and indicate a uniform dice size chosen by the recipe, though sizes may vary (commonly around 1 cm).

The term is largely confined to culinary contexts. It is often interchangeable with kockára vágott or kockázott, though those forms are not perfectly identical: kockára vágott emphasizes the action of cutting into cubes, while felkockázott emphasizes the state of already being cubed.

Examples include felkockázott paprika (diced pepper), felkockázott hagyma (diced onion), felkockázott zöldség (diced vegetables). In some recipes, specifications like "felkockázott" are followed by a desired cube size, e.g., 1 cm.
