végébe

Végébe is a term of Hungarian origin that translates to "in vegetables" or "with vegetables." It is most commonly encountered in the context of culinary practices, referring to dishes where vegetables are a primary ingredient or are incorporated into a preparation. This can encompass a wide range of culinary styles, from simple steamed or roasted vegetables to more complex vegetable-based stews, gratins, or stir-fries. The emphasis is on the vegetables themselves as a significant component of the meal, rather than merely a side dish.

In some contexts, "végébe" might also imply a vegetarian or vegan preparation, as the focus on vegetables inherently aligns with these dietary choices. However, it is important to note that the term itself does not exclusively denote a meat-free dish. A dish can be prepared "végébe" while still containing meat or other animal products, if vegetables are the dominant or defining element of the preparation. The term is descriptive of the composition of the food.
