Székelykáposzta – Hungarian Pork and Cabbage

~ Alberta Pork Staff Feature Recipe by Judit Galambos ~Székelykáposzta is a traditional Hungarian dish. It’s a stew made with pork, lots of sauerkraut, paprika, and finished with sour cream. Despite the name, it’s not directly tied to the Székely ethnic group of Transylvania. According to Hungarian culinary lore, the dish was named after József Székely, a 19th-century Hungarian archivist and friend of poet Sándor Petőfi. One evening he asked for a mix of sauerkraut stew and pork stew in a Pest tavern, and the combination became popular as Székelykáposzta.
