Finomfőzelék is a delicious Hungarian mixed vegetable stew made with peas and carrots in a creamy white sauce.
- 3 tbsps zsír or butter
- 250 grams peas (fresh or frozen)
- 250 grams carrots (diced)
- 100 grams kohlrabi (diced)
- 2 heaped tbsps plain flour
- 200 ml milk
- salt
Melt 1 tbsp of zsír (or butter) in a saucepan and add the carrots and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the peas, kohlrabi and a good pinch of salt and cook in the fat for a few minutes.
Add just enough water to cover the vegetables and simmer for 10 minutes or until soft.
In a separate pan, melt the remaining zsír (or butter) and add in the flour, and stir continuously until a roux forms. Cook the roux gently for a minute or two, then add the milk a little at a time. Stir continuously until all the milk is added, then cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
Add the sauce to the pan with the vegetables, stir until well combined. Check the seasoning then serve.
