Hungarian Green Beans Stew (Zoldbab Fozelek)

in #food5 days ago

Hi Guys!

Hope this finds you well 🙂

I have a super quicky to make stew dish to share today, it is from Hungary and is called Zoldbab fozelek, which translated to green beans stew.

You can make the stew thicker or you can prepare it exactly as followed. Differ relatives in the family would prepare it slightly different. Some would add sour cream to the mixture, to thicken and flavor it, some would add more flour instead when making the roux.

You can serve this stew as is, or if you like with buns, freshly baked sourdough, fried breaded luncheon meat, burger patties, or chicken nuggets.
