About Tarhonya

Tarhonya, also known as Hungarian egg barley, is a small, pebble-shaped pasta traditionally used in Hungarian cuisine. Made from a simple combination of flour, eggs, and sometimes a touch of salt, tarhonya is formed into coarse grains and dried before cooking. It is often sautéed briefly in oil or butter before being simmered in water or broth, giving it a rich, nutty flavor. Commonly served as a side dish or base for stews, tarhonya provides a hearty source of carbohydrates for energy. While it is not high in fiber or protein, its simple ingredient list makes it easy to incorporate into balanced meals alongside vegetables and lean proteins. For those monitoring calorie or fat intake, it's important to consider its preparation method, as frying in butter or oil increases its fat content. Tarhonya is a comforting and versatile staple in Eastern European cuisine.
