Background

One of the most popular traditional Hungarian dishes is paprikás krumpli , which means "paprika spuds" although it’s always made with sausages, normally two different types, one of which is paprika sausage, the other one is smoked, cooking sausage such as Frankfurters (virsli) or common lecsókolbász. It is a very easy and cheap dish to make - the result is hearty and delicious. The following Hungarian potato and sausage stew recipe is my family’s favourite version. We serve it with gherkins and fresh bread on the side. It's ideal for parties all year round - in the Summer Hungarians normally cook it outside in a couldron (bogrács) for large gettogethers.

Ingredients

6-8 medium potatoes
2 large onions
200g Hungarian paprika sausage (or Chorizo)
400g cooking sausage or frankfurters
1 tomato
1 light green capsicum pepper (like Turkish carliston)
Paprika (hot or sweet)
Goulash paste (spicy), optional
salt, pepper, oil, water, stick powder

Instructions

Finely chop the onion. Cut all the sausages into small cubes. Peel and dice the potatoes.
Heat the oil in a large pan then sauté the onion.
Take it off the heat, then stir in two Tbsps of paprika. When the paprika has dissolved, add the diced paprika sausage. Put it back on the heat, stir for a minute or so to release its fat, then add the potatoes and add enough water to cover them.
Cut the tomato and pepper in half, add these to the stew. Season with salt& pepper. At this point add some goulash paste or stock powder/cube and cook for 10-15 minutes under a lid.
When the potatoes are almost cooked, add the cooking sausage or frankfurters and cook for 5 minutes.
Serve hot.
