ReceptnaptárMushroom paprikash with nokedli dumplings
Mushroom paprikash is the meat-free version of pörkölt, and it has long had a place among the Lenten and everyday dishes of Hungarian cooking. Button mushrooms take up plenty of flavour from the paprika and onion base, and sour cream makes the sauce silky. With nokedli it is a filling dinner, and it pleases even those who usually insist on meat.

Tips
- Braise the mushrooms without a lid so that their liquid boils away, because too much liquid thins the sauce and weakens the flavour of the paprika.
- For more flavour, mix chestnut mushrooms, oyster mushrooms or a handful of dried porcini in with the button mushrooms.
- Add the sour cream mixed smooth with flour, and boil it only briefly, so that the sauce stays creamy and does not curdle.
Frequently asked questions
How can I make a vegan version?
With plant-based sour cream and egg-free nokedli or boiled pasta. The flavour is still well rounded, as long as there is plenty of paprika and onion.
What can I use instead of nokedli?
Boiled pasta, rice or boiled potatoes. A cucumber or beetroot salad goes well on the side.
