Hopefully you have read my original blog (check it out here) about the history of this wonderful dish and the original version. I also posted a modern version.
Here I’m going to post another variation; there isn’t a big difference because you don’t want the taste to change. But most importantly I have a video that shows you the process step by step, so hopefully this will be very clear. Continue reading Hungarian Fisherman Soup – Step by step video
This sauce is also from my old Hungarian recipe book. It is for any wild meat, either poured over or on the side as a dipping sauce (we used it generously poured over the meat)
