Tarhonya Pasta - Egg Barley 200g

Tarhonya pasta is a classic Hungarian dish. This easy-to-cook dried pasta is a versatile side that you can serve as an alternative to potatoes or rice.

What is it?

Tarhonya is a type of homemade pasta that is a staple in Hungarian cuisine, boasting a rich history that spans centuries. Traditionally prepared by hand, it is made by cutting or grating dough to form small dumplings, resembling cooked pearl barley or large couscous grains. This is where the name "egg barley" comes from.

Made from high-quality Hungarian wheat flour and farm-fresh, free-range eggs, this traditional noodle has a delightful texture that perfectly absorbs the rich flavours of sauces and stews.

How can I use it?

Tarhonya is an essential ingredient for anyone who loves preparing authentic Hungarian dishes at home. It can transform recipes like chicken paprikash and hearty stews into filling meals, bringing the true taste of our grandmothers' cooking to your dining table.

In addition to classic recipes, you can also use tarhonya as a side dish instead of potatoes or rice. It pairs beautifully with fiery curries and comforting casseroles, soaking up the juices and tempering the spices for a wonderful experience of fusion cuisine.

How to cook?

Cooking tarhonya is quick and straightforward, and there’s no need to fry it:

1. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan.
2. Add the pasta and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until tender.
3. Strain and serve as a side dish with your chosen meal.
