Disznósajt | Local Meat Jelly From Hungary, Central Europe | TasteAtlas

Disznósajt

Traditionally prepared after the annual pig slaughter, disznósajt, translated to pork cheese, is a Hungarian head cheese that is usually made by combining various pork parts such as the head, tongue, heart, ears, and hooves of a pig.


After cooking the pork parts with garlic, Hungarian paprika, salt, and black pepper, the meat mixture is typically stuffed into pig stomach in a similar manner to a sausage. The sausage-like head cheese is then cooked again before it is pressed and smoked.


This Hungarian delicacy is typically eaten thinly sliced with fresh bread, mustard, and pickles, and it is usually washed down with a glass of traditional fröccs, made by mixing wine and soda water.
