Mushroom paprikash is a beloved Hungarian favourite, served with nokedli and plenty of sour cream, making it the most delicious. You can also mix the sour cream into the stew as a thickener, and you can offer extra when serving.
You can prepare this delicious and hearty dish with just one type of mushroom, but it’s also worth trying it with a mix of different mushrooms. It’s much more exciting when various flavors come together in the stew.
Feel free to season the mushroom paprikash generously. In addition to the basic salt and pepper, it’s a good idea to use marjoram, and you can also add a smoky version alongside regular paprika. If you like a spicier flavor, you can also add a bit of hot paprika cream to the stew.
