Jelhöz

Jelhöz is a traditional Hungarian dish, originating from the region of Transylvania. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, including pork, beef, or both, along with vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. The dish is typically cooked in a large pot with plenty of water, allowing the ingredients to simmer together until they become tender and flavorful. Jelhöz is often served with a side of bread or polenta, and it is a popular dish during the colder months in Hungary. The name "jelhöz" comes from the Hungarian word "jel," which means "sign" or "indication," and "höz," which means "to" or "towards." This reflects the dish's role as a comforting and nourishing meal, providing sustenance and warmth during the winter season.
