Mushroom Paprikash Recipes

PAPRIKA CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts to 1/2 inch thickness. Sprinkle both sides of each chicken breast liberally with paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Arrange chicken breasts in the pan, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Turn chicken breasts over, and layer the thinly sliced onions and mushrooms on top of the chicken. Cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
• Remove lid, and mix onions and mushrooms into the butter sauce. Reduce heat to low, and cook uncovered for 5 minutes.

HUNGARIAN PORTOBELLO PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Char the peppers on the stovetop or under the broiler with the oven door cracked for the steam to escape. Place the charred peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to cool. Scrape or peel the skin from the peppers, then seed, and thinly slice.
• Heat 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil in a large Dutch oven or large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and brown 12 to 15 minutes until darkened and tender. Add the Fresno peppers, onion, carrot, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook to soften, 10 minutes more.
• Add the tomato paste to the vegetables and stir 1 minute. Add the stock, wine, Worcestershire sauce, and roasted red peppers. Simmer a few minutes for the flavors to combine, then cool completely and store for make-ahead meal.
• Reheat the mushrooms and sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• In boiling salted water, cook the egg noodles or egg pasta to al dente and toss with butter and herbs.
• Stir a few spoonfuls of sour cream into the paprikash and serve in shallow bowls on a bed of noodles or pasta.

HUNGARIAN MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Saute the onions in the butter for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for 5 more minutes. Stir in the dill, paprika, soy sauce and broth. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk the milk and flour together. Pour this into the soup and stir well to blend. Cover and simmer for 15 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Finally, stir in the salt, ground black pepper, lemon juice, parsley and sour cream. Mix together and allow to heat through over low heat, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not boil. Serve immediately.

MUSHROOMS PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Heat a large sauté pan or wok, add the caraway seeds and lightly toast over the heat for a few seconds. Add the oil, then tip in the onion, mushrooms and pepper, and season well (salt will help draw the moisture from the mushrooms). Cook, stirring frequently, for about 6-8 mins until the vegetables are softened and the onion is starting to turn golden.
• Stir the paprika into the vegetables, tip in the tomatoes, stock and half a can of water, and leave to cook for 5 mins. Top portions with the soured cream and parsley, if using, and serve with pasta, jacket potatoes, or garlic bread.

MUSHROOM CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Prep the Chicken: In a medium bowl toss the chicken pieces with the paprika, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour on top of the chicken and toss to coat.
• Cook Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden brown on each side, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. Don't worry if the chicken is not cooked through, it will fully cook later on in the sauce. Transfer the chicken onto a plate and set aside.
• Saute: Add the butter to the pan, and stir in the onions and mushrooms. Saute the mixture, stirring occasionally and scraping up the browned bits from the chicken, until the onion is translucent and the onions and mushrooms are browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
• Add Ingredients: Pour in about 1/4 cup of the chicken broth and deglaze the pan by scraping up any bits from the bottom. Stir in the tomato paste, whisking to combine. Add the rest of the chicken broth and the bay leaf, stirring well.
• Finish Cooking: Add the chicken back into the skillet and simmer the mixture over medium-low to medium heat, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the yogurt and cook for about 2-3 minutes longer. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
• Serve: Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles or rice and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

MUSHROOM AND POTATO PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Warm the oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Add half the mushrooms, season with salt, and brown for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Meanwhile, spread the potatoes on a plate or a shallow bowl and microwave for 3 to 5 minutes; they should be about halfway cooked, not fully. (If you don't have a microwave, you can parcook in salted boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes instead.) Transfer the first batch of mushrooms to a plate, add a little more oil if the pan is dry, and brown the second batch the same way, seasoning with salt and transferring them to the plate when done.
• Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the butter to the pot, then the onion. Season with salt and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until the onion just begins to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes, until the onion is soft and the garlic is fragrant. Reduce the heat to low and add the sweet and smoked paprikas; stir well to combine the spices with the onion. Add the wine, increase the heat to medium and let it come to a simmer while you scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Add the vegetable stock and the crushed tomatoes, then the potatoes and mushrooms, along with any liquid that accumulated on the plate. Season generously with black pepper. Increase the heat to high to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for 15 minutes.
• Uncover the pot and cook for about 5 minutes more, until the potatoes are fully tender and the liquid has reduced a bit. Meanwhile, combine the sour cream and flour in a medium bowl, then whisk a few ladlefuls of the hot liquid into the sour cream mixture. Reduce the heat to low, then add the sour cream mixture and herbs to the pot. Stir well, and adjust the texture of the stew with up to ½ cup of water if it is too thick for your taste. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if you like.

INSTANT POT MUSHROOM AND POTATO PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Turn on a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker and select the sauté setting (on the more, or hot, setting, if you have it). Add the vegetable oil, then half of the mushrooms. Season with salt, and brown for about 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove the first batch of mushrooms and place on a plate. Add a little more oil if the pot is dry, and brown the second batch the same way, seasoning with salt and transferring the mushrooms to the plate when done.
• Add the butter to the pot, then the onion. Season with salt and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, until the onion just begins to soften. Add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute more, until the garlic is fragrant. Add the sweet and smoked paprikas; stir well to combine the spices with the onion. Add the wine and carefully scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom of the pot with a spatula. Add the vegetable stock, then the potatoes and mushrooms, along with any accumulated liquid on the plate. Season generously with black pepper. Turn off the sauté setting. Close the lid and twist the pressure knob to seal. Cook on high pressure for 2 minutes.
• Turn off the pressure cooker and quick-release the pressure by carefully turning the pressure knob to venting. While the steam releases, combine the sour cream with the flour in a medium bowl. Uncover the pot and stir in the crushed tomatoes. Whisk a few ladlefuls of the hot liquid into the sour cream mixture. Add the sour cream mixture and the herbs to the pot. Stir well, and adjust the texture of the stew with up to ½ cup of water if it is too thick for your taste. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if you like.
