This traditional Hungarian dish comes straight from a Baba I met while visiting Hungary. Paprikash is a hungarian stew made using vegetables, chicken and ALOT of high quality paprika.
It is said to be the most popular dish in the country and with good reason, the bold flavors provide this dish with a unique and mouthwatering flavor. This dish pairs best with Nokedli, which is a Hungarian egg noodle.
