It has been said that Hungarian cuisine is like traditional German food, but with the addition of hot peppers. My favorite example of this is the delicious Hungarian pepper stuffed with sauerkraut (hordos kaposzta). There are many pepper options to choose from, but the most commonly stuffed, and the best tasting in my opinion, is the apple pepper (almapaprika). It is a rather hot and spicy side dish that complements well chicken paprikás (paprikás csirke) or paprika potatoes (paprikáskrumpli).

You can find Hungarian Pepper Kraut at almost any of the major grocery stores, farmers markets, and even booths by the side of the road. One of the best places to pick some up, however, is the basement of the Central Market. There are a number of local vendors there selling stuffed peppers in all shapes, sizes, colors, and heat levels. Just ask for "káposztával töltött almapaprika." If you like it extra hot add "nagyon csípõs" and they should hand you a jar with the red apple pepper.
