👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Sauté the onions:
Heat the lard or oil in a heavy pot. Add chopped onions and sauté over medium heat until golden and soft (about 8–10 minutes).
2. Add garlic and paprika:
Remove from heat, add the garlic and paprika (to avoid burning), stir quickly.
3. Add pork:
Add the pork cubes immediately and return to heat. Stir to coat with the paprika-onion mixture. Sear meat on all sides.
4. Add veggies:
Add chopped tomato and green pepper. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Simmer:
Add just enough water to barely cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 1.5–2 hours, until pork is tender and sauce thickens. Add a bit more water if needed during cooking.
🥣 Serving Suggestions:
Serve hot with:
- Nokedli (Hungarian dumplings) or
- Boiled potatoes or
- Galuska (egg noodles) or
- Polenta or fresh crusty bread
Top with a dollop of sour cream if desired.
💡 Tip:
Add a splash of dry white wine for depth, or a spoonful of sour cream at the end for richness. For variation, mushrooms or potatoes can be added to the stew.
