chicken paprikash

Chicken in a silky soured-cream paprika sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 kg Chicken
• 2 Onions
• 3 tbsp Paprika
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Flour
• 1 Bell pepper
• 1 Tomato
• 3 tbsp Lard
• 2 tsp Salt
• 2 cups Water

Method

1. Soften the onions — Cook the onions in lard until translucent and sweet.
2. Add paprika off heat — Remove from the heat and stir in the paprika so it does not scorch.
3. Brown the chicken — Add the chicken, pepper and tomato and turn to coat, then add water.
4. Simmer — Cover and cook gently for 45 minutes until tender.
5. Temper the cream — Whisk the flour into the sour cream, then stir in a ladle of hot sauce before adding it to the pot — this stops it splitting.
6. Paprikash is ready — Warm through without boiling and serve with dumplings.
