tüszciszta

Tüszciszta, also known as "tüsz" or "tüszke," is a traditional Hungarian dish that has gained popularity in recent years. It is a type of stuffed cabbage dish, similar to other Eastern European stuffed cabbage dishes such as goulash or stuffed peppers. The name "tüszciszta" translates to "cabbage stuffing" in English.

The dish typically consists of a large cabbage, usually a green cabbage, which is cut in half lengthwise and the core removed. The inner leaves are then separated and cooked until tender. The cabbage is then filled with a mixture of ground meat, often pork or beef, mixed with onions, garlic, and spices such as paprika, salt, and pepper. The filling is then placed back into the cabbage leaves, which are then wrapped around the filling and secured with toothpicks or kitchen twine.

The stuffed cabbage is then cooked in a pot with a small amount of water or broth until the cabbage is tender and the filling is cooked through. The dish is often served with a side of mashed potatoes or rice, and can be accompanied by a variety of sauces or gravies.

Tüszciszta is a hearty and flavorful dish that is often served during holidays and special occasions in Hungary. It is also a popular dish in other countries with Hungarian communities, such as the United States and Canada. The dish is typically served family-style, with each person taking a piece of the stuffed cabbage and accompanying sides.
