SKILLET PORK PAPRIKASH – SERPENYŐS SERTÉS PAPRIKÁS


This is an excellent quick recipe for two people. It is nice with nokedli, rice or with any type of buttered pasta. It calls for pork tenderloin so it is ready in a few minutes. The downside of using tenderloin is the expense and of course the lack of flavour. You know no fat, no flavour. So other means are needed to make it tasty. It helps if you lightly salt the meat, allowing it to sit at room temperature for a couple of hours. But since the whole point of this dish is speedy preparation, the homemade stock [or a good quality commercial one] becomes one of the key ingredients. Authentic Hungarian paprika is a crucial element. Slice, don’t dice the onions; they add body to the sauce. Use full fat sour cream, light sour cream just makes the sauce into slush.
