  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make paprikash in Hungarian? Wash the veal and dry it with paper towels. Cut into small portions. Heat the frying pan over high heat, pour in sunflower oil and warm it up well. Fry the veal for seven minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the meat to a separate bowl.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    In the same oil left over from roasting veal, fry finely chopped onions. It is not necessary to bring it to readiness, it should just turn red.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Wash the bell pepper and cut it into rather large pieces. Transfer to a frying pan.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Add garlic, grated on a fine grater and pour in all the paprika. In general, four tablespoons of paprika are added to the original recipe for this amount of meat! But it seemed to me that this amount would be too much. If you want to try authentic paprika, feel free to add more paprika.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Put the meat in the pan and add water. Add salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Wash the cherry tomatoes, cut in half and add to the pan. Simmer the paprika over low heat under a closed lid for thirty minutes.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Mix flour thoroughly with sour cream so that there are no lumps. This is convenient to do with a regular fork or whisk.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Add sour cream to the pan and mix the dish thoroughly. Warm up the sour cream until the first bubbles form (you can't boil it for a long time, otherwise it will curdle) and immediately remove from the heat.

Paprikash has a very interesting taste. Paprika is pronounced, and the sauce has a slight sourness due to sour cream. The meat turned out soft and literally melted in my mouth. Well, of course, because it's young veal!
I served paprikash with boiled pasta. And, despite the rather bright taste, this dish was a resounding success with both younger members of the family and the adult part of it. To be honest, I barely managed to allocate a portion for a photo shoot.
Paprikash will be good, in my opinion, both in the company of boiled rice and with mashed potatoes.
If necessary, you can replace sour cream with the same amount of heavy cream. Then the sauce will be more tender, velvety and without obvious sourness.
Bon appetit!
