Hungarian Creamy Pork Mushroom Paprikás (Sertés Gombapaprika)🇭🇺

🥘 Instructions:

  1. Base flavor
    • Heat oil or lard in a heavy pot.
    • Sauté onion until soft and golden. Add garlic and stir briefly.
  2. Cook the pork
    • Add pork cubes, season with salt and pepper, and brown on all sides.
  3. Add paprika & vegetables
    • Remove pot from heat briefly (to prevent paprika from burning). Stir in the paprika(s) and caraway.
    • Add diced pepper, tomato, and mushrooms. Return to heat, mixing well.
  4. Simmer
    • Pour in broth, cover, and let it simmer on low heat for about 40–50 minutes, until pork is tender.
  5. Creamy finish
    • In a bowl, mix sour cream with flour (if using). Temper by adding a few spoonfuls of hot liquid from the pot, stirring well.
    • Stir this mixture back into the dish. Simmer gently (do not boil) for 5 minutes until creamy.
  6. Serve
    • Sprinkle with parsley.
    • Traditionally served with nokedli (Hungarian dumplings) or buttered egg noodles.

👉 This dish is the kind of homestyle comfort food you’d find in a Hungarian kitchen—rich, earthy, and satisfying.

Would you like me to also write up a step-by-step nokedli recipe so you can serve it the traditional way? 🇭🇺
