NEW kind of Hungarian Cheese is on the market !

I was very happy to discover the new KAVAL sliced Hungarian cheese on the market .It is very tasty -ideal for cheese platters or sandwiches .It is made in Hungary but the name of the company was not clear for me .
At the same time I noticed the ewe cheese from HAJDU is available again .It is not cheap 46 riyal -but it has a strong flavor so one does not need a lot .I like mixing it with cow cheese in hot sandwiches and scones .Try it !

This is what a Stuffed Cabbage in Hungarian style looks like .A dish that I have never mastered -so this was the highlight when my mom was here and she made it for us .
You need some sauerkraut and cabbage leaves .In a tricky way one has to put the whole cabbage into boiling water and to take the leaves off while it is cooked -then a mixture of ground meat and rice should be stuffed into these leaves turned into rolls .One should not forget the paprika either . Then in a large pot one should layer the rinsed sauer kraut and the rolls and the paprika .Another trick :one should not blend it with spoon ,but to shake it from time to time .
When it is cooked -then you can add a lots of sour cream .

Did you hear ? Recently it was found that those Eastern European women who move to the USA and give up the cabbage in their weekly menu -tend to get breast cancer more often than those who keep eating at least three times a week .
I am great fan of the cabbage and I like almost all dishes with it but the cabbage in tomato sauce .

Stuffed cabbage rolls are important part of Hungarian life .It is more popular during winter when it can be frozen naturally in a closed pot in the garden .The more times it is heated the better it is - people tend to think about it .
