Hungarian Savoy Cabbage and Potato Stew🇭🇺

👩‍🍳 Directions:

  1. Prepare the Base:
    In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onions until soft and translucent. Add garlic, paprika, and caraway seeds, stirring for 30 seconds to bloom the flavors.
  2. Add Veggies:
    Stir in chopped cabbage and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage starts to wilt.
  3. Simmer:
    Pour in the broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 25–30 minutes, until potatoes are tender and cabbage is cooked.
  4. Thicken (Optional):
    In a small bowl, mix sour cream with flour and a ladleful of hot stew liquid until smooth. Slowly stir this mixture back into the pot to thicken. Simmer another 5 minutes.
  5. Serve:
    Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, with crusty bread — or top with a fried egg or sausage for a more filling meal.

đź’ˇ Tips & Variations:

  • For a smoky flavor: add diced smoked sausage or bacon while sautĂ©ing onions.
  • For extra creaminess: use half cream + half sour cream.
  • For a vegetarian version: use veggie broth and skip meat — it’s still very hearty.

Would you like me to give you a spicy version (with hot paprika and csípős kolbász — Hungarian spicy sausage) for extra kick?
