You should make Hungarian Stew tonight!

What I love most about this Pörkölt Hungarian Stew recipe is how deeply flavorful it is, despite being made with such simple, humble ingredients. My brother’s time in Hungary introduced our family to so many new dishes, but this one stuck with us. It’s cozy, comforting, and tastes like something you’ve cooked all day, even though it’s incredibly easy to prepare. The sweet Hungarian Paprika gives it such a unique and rich flavor that’s impossible to replicate with anything else. If you have to substitute regular paprika, the flavor will be a little different and you will only need a few teaspoons instead of tablespoons.
