BEEF PAPRIKA - MARHA PÖRKÖLT


Use only Hungarian Paprika. You could put in a truckload of Spanish paprika and still not get the taste, color and aroma that real Hungarian Paprika gives to a dish. The same with sour cream; use the real stuff – just use it sparingly. The slop they call “light sour cream” or “no fat sour cream” ruins everything you put it on. But first, read the truth about Hungarian Paprika.

BEEF PAPRIKA
1 kg lean beef, cubed
2 medium onions, diced
1/4 cup oil
3-4 Tbsp Hungarian sweet paprika
salt, pepper
1/2 tsp caraway seeds
1 green pepper, diced
1 tomato, crushed
14% sour cream

• Dice the onions.
• Heat the oil in a saucepan.
• Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
• Add the cubed beef and brown lightly; turn to sear every side.
• Stir in the paprika and the caraway seeds.
• Stir in the green pepper and the tomato.
• Add water to cover half way up the meat.
• Bring to slow, steady simmer, cover with lid and cook for 1-1 1/2 hours.
• Add more water if necessary, so the stew doesn’t burn.

• When meat is tender simmer uncovered for 15 minutes to reduce sauce.
• Serve over Egg Dumplings with sour cream on the side.

It began with posting a few recipes on line for the family. "zsuzsa is in the kitchen" has more than 1000 Hungarian and International recipes. What started out as a private project turned into a well visited blog. The number of visitors long passed the two million mark. I organized the recipes into an on-line cookbook. On top of the page click on "ZSUZSA'S COOKBOOK". From there click on any of the chapters to access the recipes. For the archive just scroll to the bottom of the page. I am not profiting from my blog, so visitors are not harassed with advertising or flashy gadgets. The recipes are not broken up with photos at every step. Where needed the photos are placed following the recipe. Feel free to cut and paste my recipes for your own use. Publication is permitted as long as it is in your own words and with your own photographs. However, I would ask you for an acknowledgement and link-back to my blog. Happy cooking!
