Mushroom Paprikash is a delectable, meat-free dish that combines the rich flavor of mushrooms with the traditional spices of paprikash. The unique, earthy taste of mushrooms and the paprika-infused, onion-based paprikash creates a truly authentic Hungarian culinary experience. This dish is an ideal choice for vegetarians, but those accustomed to the meat version are also encouraged to try it.
When preparing Mushroom Paprikash, the mushrooms are stewed with onions, garlic, paprika, and tomatoes to create a juicy, mouthwatering dish. It is best served with fresh, soft bread or boiled potatoes, which helps to savor the luscious sauce.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onions and garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and diced bell pepper. Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown.
Sprinkle with Hungarian sweet paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Add the diced tomato and pour in the water or stock. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
