Typical Hungarian Recipes

Veal pörkölt (Stew)

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb. juicy veal (cut from the leg  or leaner part of the breast and shoulder)  1 green pepper  1 tomato  salt to taste 2 tbsp. oil 1 large onion 1 tsp. paprika 

1.Cut the meat into small cubes. Finely chop the onion and fry in the oil until transparent. Reduce the heat, add paprika,  then immediately add the meat to prevent the paprika from turning bitter. Salt to taste and brown, stirring all the time. When the meat is browned, add a small amount of water or stock. Cover the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally. Add more liquid if necessary but very sparingly; for full flavor the meat should be browned  not cooked.

When the meat is partly tender, add green pepper cut into rings and the peeled tomato. Simmer until tender, remove the lid and cook until only a thick juice remains. (You may want to thin it with a little red wine or water.)

Serve with galuska dumplings. (See chicken paprikas)

You can make it out of pork or beef , only the cooking time is slightly longer.
