Porkolt (Hungarian Stew) Made With Pork🇭🇺..

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Sear the Pork:

  1. Heat oil or lard in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Season pork with salt and pepper. Brown pork cubes on all sides, then remove and set aside.

2. Cook the Onions & Paprika:

  1. Reduce heat to medium and sauté onions until golden and soft.
  2. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  3. Remove from heat briefly, then stir in paprika (to avoid burning) until fragrant.

3. Simmer the Stew:

  1. Return pork to the pot. Add bell pepper, broth, tomatoes, and caraway seeds.
  2. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook 1–1½ hours over low heat, stirring occasionally, until pork is tender and sauce thickens.

4. Serve:

  • Serve hot over egg noodles, rice, or dumplings.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

💛 Ashley’s Tips:

  • Use shoulder or stew cuts — they stay tender and flavorful when simmered.
  • Adjust paprika to taste — sweet for mild, add smoked for depth or hot paprika for a kick.
  • Pörkölt tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld!

If you want, I can also give you a slow-cooker version of Pork Pörkölt — just set it and come back to tender, flavorful pork stew with minimal effort!
