Chicken paprikash with ewe's cheese dumplings

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
The essence of Hungarian cuisine: the holy trinity of onion-fat-paprika. The secret of good paprikash is the thick sauce, provided not by flour, but by lots of onion and collagen-rich chicken parts (skin, bone). The ewe's cheese dumpling (like Spätzle but without potato in this version) has a piquant taste that cuts through the richness of the sauce perfectly.

Instructions

1 ✓

Sauté the onion in fat until very soft (almost pulpy), with a little salt.

Tip: This is the 'stew base'. The onion gives body to the sauce.
2 ✓

Pull off the heat, sprinkle with paprika. Add the meat, diced pepper and tomato, then pour over just enough water to cover. Cook until tender (approx. 45-50 minutes).

3 ✓

Meanwhile mix the dumplings (flour, egg, water, salt). Drop small pieces into boiling water. When they float to the surface, drain.

Tip: Don't rinse the dumplings, the starchy surface absorbs the cheese better.
4 ✓

Mix the sour cream with a ladle of hot sauce (tempering), then pour back onto the chicken. Simmer together.

Tip: If you pour it in cold, the sour cream will curdle.
5 ✓

Toss the hot dumplings with the crumbled ewe's cheese.
