About Paprikash

Paprikash is a traditional Hungarian dish known for its comforting, rich flavors and vibrant paprika-based sauce. Typically made with chicken, the dish features tender meat simmered in a creamy gravy seasoned with sweet or smoked paprika, garlic, onion, and sour cream. Some variations include vegetables like bell peppers or tomatoes and may be served alongside egg noodles or dumplings called nokedli. Paprikash is a good source of protein from the chicken and provides beneficial antioxidants from paprika, which supports immune health. However, its creamy sauce, often containing sour cream, contributes to higher fat and calorie content, which may be a consideration for those monitoring their dietary intake. Lower-fat substitutions, such as Greek yogurt, can make paprikash a healthier choice without sacrificing flavor. Rich in tradition yet adaptable, paprikash remains a beloved staple in Hungarian cuisine and beyond.
