Radio Miskolc 2011
Miskolc Radio produced a report at the food and clothing distribution site with our colleagues from Miskolc and Debrecen. In the broadcast, homeless people and retirees speak out and share stories about how they make ends meet, how they ended up in this situation, and what it’s like to live on the streets. Tibor Demeter, our volunteer from Miskolc, explains why this is important to him, how organizing regular food distributions helps him, and how we can make progress […]

It's not just the homeless who are starving - www.magyarhirlap.hu
Children stood in the cold, in a line stretching for hundreds of meters from Blaha Lujza Square past the St. Roch Chapel, waiting for food to be distributed. Never before have so many non-homeless, large-family, and poor retirees stood in line at the Christmas food distribution on Blaha Lujza Square in the capital as they did yesterday. From the former Corvin department store past the St. Roch Chapel, the line snaked for several hundred meters […]
Cottage cheese dumplings
That’s right, you can make this treat even without eggs. It’s worth keeping in mind, though, that it’s soft when fresh but hardens as it cools. Though that won’t be a problem, since it’ll be gone before it even cools down. Mix half a kilogram of cottage cheese with 8 decagrams of wheat semolina and a pinch of salt. Shape the mixture into about 12 balls and cook them in boiling water until they […]
Stuffed peppers
Prepare 10 dkg of cottage cheese or homemade cheese (panír). Remove the seeds from 5 small bell peppers and blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes. Cook 1 dl of rice in 2 dl of water, then mix it with the cottage cheese or crumbled homemade cheese. Add salt, 3 tsp of paprika, 2 tsp of hing, 2 tsp of pepper, and a little oil. The resulting […]
Sauerkraut (5 litres, 10 fillings)

When the cabbage is half-cooked, add the filling. Filling: A small head of […]
Puri (Indian bread) 15 pieces
Knead half a kilogram of graham flour with 5 decagrams of butter, salt, and lukewarm water to form a soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands. Add 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds or sesame seeds, if desired. Cover with a cloth and let rest for 15 minutes, then shape the dough into balls 3 cm in diameter and roll them out into round flatbreads 2–3 mm thick. Drop them into plenty of hot oil. Do not fry more than 2–3 at a time. Press them down, […]

We eat and you guard us. 🙂
Breading without eggs
If we think that good breaded vegetables can only be breaded with eggs, then life still has some surprises in store for us Mix flour with milk until it reaches a consistency similar to pancake batter, then coat the vegetables—cut into small pieces—or the cheese in this mixture. An important golden rule is that you should never salt the vegetables, because they’ll release liquid and the batter will fall off while frying. Coat them in breadcrumbs, […]
Pakora (Indian fried vegetables)
Mix half a kg of yellow pea flour with 10 dkg of white flour, then add 2 tsp of hing, 5 dkg of sesame seeds and a little salt. Cut the vegetables into small pieces. If the surface of the vegetables is wet after slicing, wipe dry, otherwise the pasta will not stick. You can use any kind of vegetables, be it pumpkin, cauliflower, courgette, aubergine, potatoes, etc.
