Savoy cabbage
This dark green, crinkly cabbage has a sweet, earthy flavour and is great eaten cooked or raw. Savoy has slightly looser leaves than other cabbage varieties, but its head should still be compact and weighty, with crisp leaves. This dark green brassica has a distinctive, sweet and slightly earthy taste that stands up well against rich, bold or meaty flavours.
Hungarian cuisine
Hungarian or Magyar cuisine is the cuisine characteristic of the nation of Hungary and its primary ethnic group, the Magyars. Traditional Hungarian dishes are primarily based on meats, seasonal vegetables, fruits, fresh bread, dairy products and cheeses.

Dear Jan, this looks so delicious!
beef is one of the more expensive meats.
I've never heard of minced beef before, this looks very tasty!
...looks like a good autumn dish.
This is a meal I would have a few times a month.
I might try this. I have mince in the freezer and most of the ingredients. Something a bit different for a change.
I don't use oregano or paprika. Must give them a try.
That does look good.
The season for hearty, warming meals is fast approaching. It is odd, how we retain such patterns, when most of us now live in centrally-heated homes and don't undertake heavy labour. It's comfort food, really.
Another delicious recipe, Jan! Thanks for sharing.

Now that's a favourite. Many thanx, Jan.
God bless.
Essa receita com tempero h[ungaro fazia parte de almoços na casa de minha avó. Ela tinha uma amiga húngara que a ensinou! Muito bom!
Linda nova semana!
beijos praianos, chica
My partner would love this. I'll have the veg! :-D
Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Take care, have a great day and happy week ahead.
Hmmm, that sounds yummy. Luckily today, though, we have a day of summer!
I would eat all the beef, without veggies :-))
This looks delicious! We enjoy a bit of spice here, so I will more than likely be giving this a try.
That looks so tasty, and a nice change from the usual hamburger or chili.
Bom dia. Uma excelente segunda-feira. Parece ser delicioso. Muito obrigado pela dica, salivei aqui.
Looks so good
This looks like a delicious dish, similar to a dish over here.
Would probably freeze well, and make a good filling for a pie with pastry or potato toppings. Thanks for the idea!
That savory mince recipe is just the sort of meal I like, altho' I'll skip the Savoy cabbage and have a Sweetheart instead. I don't like Savoy cabbage, once Mike grew a huge one which lasted for weeks, I threw the last bit out I was so fed up of it!
Ohhh this sounds really good. I like the Hungarian style recipes.
Paprika ... that is a favorite spice for my husband. Pinning! :-)
Yum.

Una receta interesante y seguro que sabrosa. Besos.
That sounds quite good, I was thinking even the cabbage cooked right in with it :)
I like the idea of a vegetarian option.
Gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
Jan, an excellent recipe! Tasty and low in calories, ideal for starting a diet now, since summer will soon begin here.
A great recipe Jan, thank you so much!
