Because sometimes (read: most of the time) you just need some childhood Hungarian soul food to make everything ok. This is also the go to last minute dinner when you think “what AM I feeding them tonight”. This is an excellent Pre Pesach meal as it does not require lots of preparation and does not contain any chometz that can be tracked through the house.
YES my friends a dinner for the kids and the adults. For real. Ready in under an hour, it’s perfect for those crazy days or late nights, simple enough to have the kids help make, and pretty much impossible to mess up.
What’s your feel good, comfort food?
