My mom is a wonderful
chef and baker who grew up in Hungary. She taught me to appreciate food
and love cooking. So I thought I would share a recipe, this is one of the
staples of Hungarian cuisine.
Maria's Paprikas
Csirke (Chicken Paprika):
1. chop 2-3 onions
into 1" or smaller cubes, brown in vegetable oil on medium or low heat
2. add 2-6 cloves of
chopped garlic
3. add 2-3 tablespoons
of paprika
4. add 1 cup water, be
careful not to burn the paprika (don't put on high heat)
5. when the water
evaporates, add the chicken (1 chicken, cut into pieces)
6. remove from heat
7. add 1-2 6 oz. cans
of tomato paste
8. add 1
tablespoon chicken base (this will be salty so is in lieu of salt)
9. cover in foil and
bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees; remove from oven
10. in separate bowl,
mix one cup sour cream with 2-3 tablespoons flour, spoon in some of the broth
from the pot that has the chicken in it, stir
11. add the sour cream
mixture to the chicken pan and mix; bring to a boil on stove top to
cook the flour
Here's a recipe for
the galuska (aka nokedli) that you serve with the chicken paprika:
And in case there are
questions for the chef, my mom, Maria, loves to chat, especially about food, so
here is her phone number: 919-967-4344. :)
All my best to Leslie
and Jesse and their first baby!
