Hungarian Rice With Meat (Husos Rizs)

This is a great way to use up leftover rice and meat from a previous meal, and tastes great! I like to serve this in a bowl with some vinegarette salad on the side. Frugality is popular in Hungary, so even leftovers are brilliantly used to recreate dishes. This is our version of "fried rice." I also like to put taco sauce or tomato juice into the mix for added flavor.
