Chicken stew (pörkölt)

Wed 03 September 2014

Hungarian-style chicken stew.

Serves 4. Easy.

Ingredients

  • 1kg chicken meat (we used thighs and wings; bones aren't a problem if you don't mind picking them out of your food)
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 tbsp paprika powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 pointed peppers, chopped; one hot and one sweet (if you can't get hot pointed peppers, substitute with a whole chili or chili flakes or something)
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 150ml water
  • 150ml sour cream (garnish)
  • Pasta

Method

  • Heat oil, sauté onions until golden
  • Remove pan from heat!
  • Add garlic and paprika powder, mix
  • Add water and return to heat
  • Add meat, peppers and tomato, and salt
  • Cook until tender (40-50 min), or if you prefer, cook a bit longer until it falls off the bone (remember to stir when there's not a lot of liquid left)
  • Serve with pasta and sour cream.

Notes

After it's cooked, mix about a tbsp of Erős Pista into the pan if you can get it (or any hot spice or sauce you prefer).
