Grandma Varga’s Hungarian Cucumber Salad (Uborkasalata),This is the best cucumber salad I have ever had. This is my grandmothers recipe, (she was from Nagyszentmiklos) and this is a perfect companion dish for chicken paprikas, although I could make a meal out of it. This will quickly become your favorite way to eat cucumbers!,BEST SALAD EVER! Slight difference with my mom’s recipe (both my parents from Hungary as well). No dill, I think that is a preference for those who have grown up with it. Cucumber, salt, sugar, vinegar and a lil water. YES you MUST add a bit of sugar to offset the vinegar. We sprinkle the paper thin cucumber slices with salt, sugar & some vinegar and let set for an hour or so. Then gently squeeze out the extra “water”. Then we proceed to make the “dressing”. You can utilize as many cucumbers you want, depending on how much you want to serve. As my mother has made this since was 5 yrs old (not kidding), she does everything my sight…Not one measuring spoon or cup around.,My mother used to make a dish that I, as a child, just called – the Beef with brown sauce. It was small slices of what I thought was some sort of beef in a brown sauce over rice. My sister told me the beef was actually beef hearts…but I’m not sure. Did anyone’s Hungarian relative ever make anything like this? Thanks
