Sólet

A bowl of sólet garnished with a slice of ham, a slice of roast beef, a slice of tomato, and a halved egg

Sólet is a traditional Hungarian-Jewish stew made with kidney beans, barley, onions, paprika, and usually meat. While traditionally a Jewish food, prepared on Fridays before Shabbat and eaten the following day for lunch, it is also commonly eaten by non-Jewish Hungarians, who may even add pork.

Sólet is a variant of Cholent, the traditional Jewish Shabbat dish. It was likely modified by the Magyars living in Pannonia when the Jews arrived[1] and introduced it to them.[dubious – discuss]
