Paprika is a spice made from the grinding of dried sweet capsicum peppers.

Paprika is a common ingredient used in many Hungarian dishes.

This recipe is for a flavorful sauce base that can be served over egg noodles, dumplings, or any meat dishes.

Ingredients

1 tbsp of vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp of paprika
2 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups (280 ml) of chicken stock
4 tbsp dry sherry or white wine
2/3 cup (70 ml) of sour cream
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Using a large skillet, heat the oil. Add the onions and cook until soft.

Add the paprika and flour, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Gradually stir in the stock and bring to a boil, and continue stirring.

Add the sherry and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Stir in the sour cream.

Serve over your favorite dish.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love this. My sister’s friend used to make this. I’ve never been able to recreate it. The great Hungarian mystery solved!

    • Hi Nelda,

      Thanks for your comment! I really hope this recipe is a hit for you! :)

      There are many way of making paprika sauce especially when it comes to preparing the famous Chicken Paprikash dish (but that’s an entirely different recipe).

      I really like this recipe because it’s very simple yet flavorful. It’s really good with egg noodles and dumplings.
