Paprika Gravy image

Begin your Hungarian cooking with this basic gravy. It celebrates paprika in a wonderful way. From The Frugal Gourmet, it can be used in Hungarian Stuffed Red Bell Peppers (http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/pork/hungarian-stuffed-red-bell-peppers.html) from the same cookbook.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 Tbsp hungarian paprika
1 Tbsp oil or lard
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 c anaheim peppers, seeded and chopped
1 c onion, chopped
1/2 c tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp chicken bouillon
6 c beef stock, fresh or canned
1 c sour cream
3/4 c all purpose flour
freshly ground blac pepper, to taste
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a heavy 5-quart stove-top casserole and add the oil (or lard) and paprika. Cook over medium heat for a moment, then add the garlic, green pepper, onion and tomatoes.
  • 2. Simmer for a few minutes until all is tender. Add the chicken base and beef stock along with the salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • 3. In a metal bowl mix the sour cream and flour together. Mix it well with a wire whip because you do not want lumps. Add a cup of the gravy from the pot and quickly stir it into the cream mixture, whipping it well.
  • 4. Return to the heat and simmer, stirring often, for 15 minutes. Strain the gravy and discard the solids or lumps if you have any.
  • 5. This recipe will make about 7 cups of gravy.
