Kóstolót

Kóstolót is a traditional Hungarian dish, particularly popular in the Transdanubia region. It is a type of stuffed cabbage roll, similar to the German dish sauerkraut. The dish consists of thinly sliced cabbage leaves, which are stuffed with a mixture of ground pork, breadcrumbs, and onions. The filling is seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes paprika. After stuffing, the cabbage leaves are rolled up tightly and boiled in water until tender. The dish is often served with a side of sour cream or mustard, and is a staple of Hungarian cuisine, particularly during the colder months.

The origins of kóstolót are unclear, but it is believed to have been a dish of the common people, as it was inexpensive and easy to prepare.

Kóstolót is typically served as a side dish, but can also be eaten as a main course with a side of bread or rice.
