Debreceni Kolbász | Traditional Cooked Sausage From Debrecen, Hungary | TasteAtlas

Debreceni kolbász

(Debrecener, Debrecinka, Salsiccia di Debrecen)

Debreceni kolbász is a Hungarian sausage made with pork and spices such as garlic, paprika, pepper, and marjoram, which account for the reddish-orange color of the sausage. It is named after the Hungarian town of Debrecen. These sausages are typically unsmoked or lightly smoked, and the flavor is strong and slightly pungent.


They can be broiled, baked, or fried. Some use them as an ingredient in various aromatic stews or bake the sausages with beans. Nowadays, Debreceni kolbász is popular throughout the former Austro-Hungarian Empire.
