Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 8 ounces Mushrooms
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 cups Egg noodles or rice

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add both to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Slice the red and green bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the sweet paprika, smoked paprika, and tomato paste, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated with the spices.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and mix well. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and continue simmering for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 8

In a small bowl, temper the sour cream by mixing it with a few spoonfuls of the hot sauce from the skillet. Gradually stir the tempered sour cream back into the dish, ensuring it doesn’t curdle.

Step 9

Add salt and black pepper to taste, and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top.

Step 10

Serve the Vegetable Paprikash over cooked egg noodles or rice and enjoy!
