Hungarian Savoy Cabbage and Potato Stew🇭🇺


👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Sauté base:
    • Heat oil in a large pot.
    • Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
    • Stir in garlic and caraway seeds; cook for another minute.
  2. Add vegetables:
    • Stir in paprika (remove from heat first to avoid burning it).
    • Add diced potatoes and chopped Savoy cabbage.
    • Season with salt and pepper.
    • Pour in water or broth to just cover the vegetables.
    • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20–25 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Make thickening mix:
    • In a small bowl, mix flour with sour cream until smooth.
    • Slowly add a few spoonfuls of hot stew liquid to the mixture to temper it.
    • Stir this back into the pot to thicken the stew.
  4. Simmer and finish:
    • Simmer for another 5–10 minutes until thickened and creamy.
    • Optional: Add a splash of vinegar to brighten the flavor.
