Tarhonya (Hungarian Grated Egg Noodles) 🇭🇺

A traditional Hungarian pasta with a delightfully chewy texture, often toasted for extra nuttiness and served as a side dish or in soups. Simple, hearty, and full of old-world charm!


Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1-2 tbsp water (if needed)

  • 2 tbsp butter or lard (for toasting, optional)


Directions

1. Make the Dough:

  • In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Make a well, crack in eggs, and gradually incorporate into a stiff dough. Add water only if too dry.

  • Knead 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and rest 30 minutes.

2. Grate the Tarhonya:

  • Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the dough into small, uneven pieces (like coarse crumbs).

  • Spread on a tray to dry slightly (30 mins – or use immediately).

3. Cook or Toast (Two Ways):

Option 1: Boiled (for soups/stews)

  • Drop into boiling salted water and cook 3-5 mins until tender. Drain.

Option 2: Toasted (classic side dish)

  • Melt butter/lard in a skillet, add raw tarhonya, and toast on medium-low heat, stirring often, until golden-brown (8-10 mins).

  • Add 1 cup broth or water, cover, and simmer 5-7 mins until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.


Serving Ideas

✨ Classic: Toasted tarhonya with paprika chicken or stews.
🍲 In Soup: Adds heartiness to goulash or beef broth.
🧈 Buttery Herb Toss: Sauté with garlic, parsley, and extra butter.

Storage: Dry fully, then keep in an airtight container for months!

Pro Tip: For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika to the dough. 😊
