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
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 3 cm chunks. Slice the sausage into 1 cm rounds and chop the onion finely.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Season with black pepper and serve hot, with the pickled cucumbers on the side.
