*Hungarian Paprika is sweet paprika and can be found in the spice aisle at the grocery store, or on amazon. If you must substitute regular (hot) paprika, the flavor will change slightly, and you will only need a few teaspoons, rather than Tablespoons. Adjust to taste.
Variations:
- Substitute meat- any kind of meat can be used. Substitute chicken, pork, or other game meat.
- Add vegetables- feel free to add any cooked or sautéed vegetables at the end, or add small chopped potatoes or carrots during last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Paprikás - Add additional sour cream and this dish becomes a new hungarian favorite, paprikás!
