Paprika is considered to be the national Hungarian spice. It is difficult to imagine Hungarian cuisine without fragrant paprika.
In fact, paprikash is not the name of a particular dish, but a method of cooking white meat. In Hungary, paprikash is called many dishes where meat is cut, flavored with paprika, and sour cream or cream is added to the sauce.
Paprikash can also be fish, chicken, veal or lamb.
An important feature of paprikash is the use of only white, lean meat for cooking.
