Hortobágyi palacsinta

Hortobágyi palacsinta is a savoury Hungarian crêpe dish, filled with meat (usually veal or beef). The meat is prepared as a stew with onions, and seasoned with hot paprika, garlic, salt and pepper, using veal, beef, chicken or Hungarian sausage. The sauce is drained from the stew and set aside. The crêpes are then filled with the stew, tucking in the ends. The sauce is then poured generously over the crepes, topped with tejföl (sour cream) and fresh parsley.[1][2] A popular serving option in Hungary is to roll up the filled crêpes, or fold them into half’s and then rolling them up on the shorter side. The rolled up crêpes then can be stacked on each other with the sauce poured over them.[3]
