Authentic Hungarian Grilled Tofu Salad

Assemble the ingredients: tofu, black pepper, salt, lemon juice, potato, onion, bay leaf.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the tofu and cook until grilled.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Hungarian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Hungarian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
