The plans
- Hungarian · porkDanube Tuesday Pörkölt Supper
A compact Hungarian family supper centered on a gently stewed pork pörkölt, brightened with a crisp sour-cream-and-dill cucumber salad and finished with tender nokedli dumplings — all built on sweet paprika and simple pantry staples for a home-friendly, authentic finish. The program focuses on one-pan simmering plus a quick stove-top noodle finish so one cook can execute everything within an hour.
- Hungarian · fishDanube Paprika Supper
A compact Hungarian weeknight supper centered on river fish kissed with sweet and smoked paprika, accompanied by crisp roast potatoes and a sweet‑sour red cabbage — all built to finish fresh at 17:00. Focused technique and bold, traditional paprika flavors make this an approachable family meal with room for a kid-friendly spritz and a bottle of dry Tokaji.
- Hungarian · vegetarianHungarian Mushroom Paprikash Family Supper
A warm, paprika-forward vegetarian supper built around velvety mushroom paprikash finished with sour cream, house nokedli to soak up the sauce, a bright quick cucumber salad to cut the richness, and warm stewed plums with vanilla sour cream for an easy finish.
