Ostyáks

Ostyáks are a traditional Hungarian dish originating from the region of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén. The name "Ostyák" is derived from the Hungarian word for "peasant," reflecting the dish's rural origins. The dish is typically prepared with a variety of ingredients, including potatoes, cabbage, and sometimes other vegetables like carrots or onions. The potatoes are usually boiled and then mashed, while the cabbage is cooked separately and often served as a side dish. The combination of these ingredients creates a hearty and comforting meal that is popular in Hungarian cuisine. Ostyáks is often served with a side of sour cream or a simple salad, and it is a staple in many Hungarian households, particularly during colder months. The dish's simplicity and use of readily available ingredients make it a practical and beloved choice for both everyday meals and special occasions.
