French Beans With Sour Cream And Paprika Food

HUNGARIAN CREAM OF GREEN BEAN SOUP (TEIFELES ZOLDBAB LEVES)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large skillet, place the green beans and cover with water; add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
• Remove green beans to a colander, reserving cooking liquid.
• Meanwhile in a medium skillet, make a roux (known as rantas in Hungarian) by melting the butter, adding the flour, and cooking, stirring constantly, until it is a light amber color.
• Add pepper, paprika, and 1/4 cup water to the skillet, stirring until smooth.
• Temper the sour cream with a few ladles of the hot green bean cooking liquid.
• Add the sour cream mixture to the pan along with green beans; whisk the mixture until smooth. Simmer until the broth thickens, 5 to 8 minutes, but do not let it boil.
• Serve hot or chilled.

ANYTIME SOUR CREAM GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• 1. Put undrained cut or french cut green beans in a pot. Heat slowly.
• 2. Chop bacon and put in frying pan. Saute to crisp or soft..they both work for this. Add chopped onions and saute until just clear.
• 3. Drain green beans and put back in pan. Add bacon and onions. Stir over low heat to keep green beans warm. Add sour cream, salt and pepper. Stir over low heat until sour cream is just heated through. Very low temp works because high heat will cause the sour cream to separate. Enjoy!!

CHICKEN PAPRIKA

Steps:

• Mix flour, 2 tablespoons paprika, salt, and pepper on a shallow plate. Dip chicken pieces in mixture to coat.
• Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken in hot oil until browned completely, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon to a bowl, reserving oil and drippings in skillet.
• Cook and stir onion and garlic in the reserved drippings until tender, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet. Pour chicken stock over the chicken mixture. Stir tomato paste into the chicken stock until integrated completely.
• Bring the chicken stock to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the skillet, and cook at a simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Whisk sour cream, 1 teaspoon paprika, and cornstarch together in a small bowl; stir into the chicken mixture and cook until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.

HUNGARIAN GREEN BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Chop the onion into small cubes and set aside.
• Wash the green beans, trim off the ends and cut the beans into 1 inch long pieces. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a large pot and add the onions. Sauté the onions on medium heat until they become translucent.
• Add the green beans to the pot, then add 2 cups of broth. The mixture of onions and beans should just be covered.
• Add the paprika, reduce the heat, and let everything simmer for around 30 minutes (or until the beans are tender - but not mushy).
• Add the sour cream, milk, and corn starch together in a bowl and whisk well.
• Add the corn starch mixture to the pot and mix everything well.
• Bring the soup back to a boil for around 2 minutes or until it has reached the desired thickness. Stir frequently.
• Serve and enjoy!

CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper.
• In a large Dutch Oven (or braiser), over medium-high heat, add the oil and, once hot, add the chicken, skin side down. Brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove and reserve on a plate.
• Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Briefly remove the pot from the heat and stir in the paprika. The residual heat will help toast it slightly without burning it.
• Return the pot to the heat and add the white wine, if using. Cook, scraping all the browned bits from the bottom of the pot, until reduced considerably, about 1-2 minutes.
• Pour in the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Return the chicken to the pot, making sure every piece is surronded by the liquid. The liquid doesn't have to completely cover it. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 to 40 minutes or until the chicken pieces are tender and a thermometer inserted in their thickest part reads at least 175º.
• In a bowl, combine the sour cream with a ladleful or two of the hot liquid from the pot. Whisk until incorporated. Then, add the flour and mix until no lumps remain.
• Transfer the chicken pieces to a serving dish. Raise the heat to medium-high and pour the tempered sour cream mixture into the sauce. Cook until thickened to the desired consistency.
• Taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken, garnish with the chopped parsley (if using) and serve immediately, over nokedli, spätzle or egg noodles.

VEAL WITH PAPRIKA AND SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Cut veal into thinnest possible (julienne) strips. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat butter in skillet and when it bubbles and starts to turn brown, add veal. Cook, stirring, over high heat about 30 seconds.
• Add onions and cook, stirring, about a minute. Do not overcook. Sprinkle with paprika and stir.
• Using slotted spoon, transfer veal to saucepan. Add wine to liquid left in skillet. Cook down over high heat about 3 minutes and add heavy cream. Cook down about a minute.
• Add sour cream and cook about a minute. There should be about 1 1/4 cups of sauce. It is not essential to strain this sauce, but it is preferable to put it through a fine sieve. Reheat sauce and pour over veal. Heat briefly until veal is piping hot. Serve with rice.

CANNELLINI BEANS WITH SWEET PAPRIKA AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Prep the beans:
• Look over the beans and pick out any small rocks or dirt clods that may be lurking among them. Rinse the beans in a colander and then put them in a large bowl, cover with plenty of cold water, and leave them overnight on the counter (or in the fridge if the weather is hot).
• Cook the beans:
• The next day, drain the beans and rinse them off a little, then transfer to a large saucepan, cover them by a couple of inches with fresh water and put them on high heat.
• Add 1 teaspoon salt to the beans (some don't; I do. The simple reason: Beans cooked with salt taste better than beans cooked without salt. Flavor trumps.) Add your desired aromatics (the more of these aromatics you add, the more delicious the beans, and their cooking liquid, will be).
• Bring the pot of beans to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer, and skim off any foam with a ladle. Taste the water for salt, add more if needed, and cook, stirring infrequently but checking more often and adding water as needed, until beans are very tender but not, hopefully, falling apart. This will take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the beans. Taste five or six beans to be sure that they are all really cooked and not at all chalky.
• Remove and discard any large vegetables or aromatics from the pot, leaving the beans in their liquid.
• To finish:
• In a large skillet over medium-low heat, heat oil and sauté diced onion with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is very tender and just slightly colored, about 15 minutes. Add paprika and garli; cook, stirring, until garlic turns fragrant but doesn't color at all, about 30 seconds.
• If the beans are underwater, pour off excess liquid into a separate container (save it for soup) so that beans are only partially covered. Stir the onion mixture into the beans, and season with salt. Serve topped with ground pepper.

FRENCH BEANS WITH SOUR CREAM AND PAPRIKA

• Take the pan off the heat and stir in the sour cream, return pan to the heat and reheat without boiling.
• Transfer to a serving dish and and dust the top with the remaining paprika.
