  • Contains: beef, pork

Ingredients

  • 350 g Potatoes
  • 80 g Onion
  • 10 g Lard
  • 5 g Sweet Hungarian paprika
  • 60 g Smoked sausage (kolbász)
  • 30 g Hungarian wax pepper (lecsó pepper)
  • 40 g Tomato
  • 2 g Garlic
  • 0.3 g Caraway seeds
  • 200 g Water
  • 0.5 g Salt
  • 0.1 g Black pepper
  • 40 g Pickled cucumbers, to serve

Method

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 3 cm chunks. Slice the sausage into 1 cm rounds and chop the onion finely.
  2. Melt the lard in a wide pot and fry the sausage for 2-3 minutes until its fat runs, then lift it out. Fry the onion in the fat for 8-10 minutes until soft and golden.
  3. Take the pot off the heat, stir in the paprika, then add the potatoes straight away with the caraway, the crushed garlic and the salt, and stir to coat them.
  4. Add the wax pepper, sliced, and the tomato, cut into pieces, and enough water to come halfway up the potatoes. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring gently now and then.
  5. Put the sausage back for the last 10 minutes. It is ready when the potatoes are tender and their edges begin to fall apart and thicken the sauce; crush a few against the side of the pot if needed. Add a splash of water if it gets dry: it should be a thick stew, not a soup.
  6. Season with black pepper and serve hot, with the pickled cucumbers on the side.
