A simple and delicious recipe that is perfect for everyday use. A great way to use up leftover potatoes in the fridge. This popular dish is probably served in every Hungarian household!
Feel free to serve the dish with Gyulai Bondkorv !
Ingredients:
1.5 kg firm potatoes
2 green peppers or 2 Hungarian white pointed peppers (available in well-stocked vegetable counters during the summer)
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 finely chopped yellow onion
3 garlic cloves
150g smoked Szalonna Lard
1 pinch ground cumin
1 tbsp paprika powder
salt
water
Do this:
Dice smoked Szalonna Lard and heat in a high-sided frying pan until the fat melts. Add finely chopped yellow onion, crushed garlic cloves and ground cumin. Sauté until the onion is translucent and soft!
Remove the frying pan from the heat and season with paprika. Peel the potatoes and cut lengthwise into wedges. Add the potatoes, sliced peppers, tomato paste to the pan and season generously with salt.
Add about 2-3dl of water and simmer until the potatoes are done. The water will prevent the dish from burning during cooking and will contribute to juiciness. The sauce should not be thin, but the paprika powder and starch from the potatoes will give the sauce a thicker consistency. Avoid stirring the pot, but shake the frying pan from time to time during cooking.
The dish can be varied by adding more water to get a thinner consistency and plenty of sauce. Add the Csipetke pasta and Hungarian peasant bread and cook until the pasta is done!
Enjoy your meal!🇭🇺
Tasty meal!🇸🇪
