Directions

  1. Heat lard in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until melted. Add 1/2 the paprika and stir to blend. Add onions and red bell pepper, stir to coat. Cook until just soft, about 3 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a bowl and drain lard back into Dutch oven.

  2. Add veal and remaining paprika to the Dutch oven. Stir to coat the meat, cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add more lard if needed.

  3. Return cooked vegetables and any juices to the Dutch oven. Add broth and bring just to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Add more broth if needed. Season with salt, pepper, and additional paprika.

  4. Finish the sauce just before serving by stirring sour cream in thoroughly.

Recipe Note

Hungarian deliciousness made gluten free and diabetic- and keto-friendly. I sent directions to my 20-year-old non-cooking son to impress his girlfriend. He nailed it the first time. Traditionally served with dumplings but I serve with green beans, shredded Brussels sprouts, or sautéed cabbage. To make this Kosher, use schmaltz or duck fat and nondairy sour cream substitute. This uses quite a lot of paprika, but you would expect that from the name, yes?
