Creamy Mushroom Paprikash is a true Hungarian classic, with flavors of spicy stew in every bite, but made soft and creamy thanks to the sour cream. The mushrooms are added to a spicy stew base, which is enriched with sour cream, resulting in a truly delicious, hearty dish. The soft taste of sour cream and the spicy paprika mushrooms create a fantastic harmony. The dish goes perfectly with fresh bread or even boiled potatoes.
This dish is one of the quick to prepare but extremely tasty stews. The Hungarian version of mushroom stew is a truly tempting dish that is perfect for any family lunch.
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Clean and slice the mushrooms.
Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent.
Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Sauté for a few minutes until they release their liquid.
Sprinkle with Hungarian sweet paprika, stir well, and add a splash of water.
Cover and simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are completely tender.
Whisk the sour cream with the flour, then add it to the mushrooms. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, with rice or nokedli (Hungarian dumplings).
