Hungarian Creamy Pork Mushroom Paprikás (Sertés Gombapaprika)🇭🇺

Instructions

  1. Sauté onions:
    • Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat.
    • Cook onions until soft and translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
  2. Cook pork:
    • Add pork pieces, season with salt and pepper.
    • Brown on all sides for 5–7 minutes.
  3. Add paprika and mushrooms:
    • Remove pan from heat briefly, stir in paprika to prevent burning.
    • Add mushrooms and cook 2–3 minutes.
  4. Simmer:
    • Pour in broth, bring to a simmer.
    • Cover and cook 20–25 minutes until pork is tender.
  5. Add sour cream:
    • In a small bowl, mix sour cream with a few spoonfuls of hot sauce from the pan (to prevent curdling).
    • Stir into the pan, heat gently, do not boil. Optional: whisk in 1 tsp flour to thicken sauce.
  6. Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh parsley.
    • Traditionally served with egg noodles (nokedli), mashed potatoes, or rice.

🇭🇺 Tip: For a richer flavor, let the dish rest for 30 minutes before serving—it lets the paprika and sour cream meld beautifully.

If you want, I can also give a faster, one-pan version that’s creamy, tender, and ready in under 40 minutes.

Do you want me to do that?
