Hungarian Pork One Pot Food

PORKOLT (HUNGARIAN STEW) MADE WITH PORK

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain, and reserve the drippings. Add the onions to the bacon and cook together until the onion is translucent. Remove skillet from heat and stir the paprika, garlic powder, and pepper into the bacon mixture. Transfer the mixture into a large stockpot.
• Heat a small amount of the reserved bacon drippings in the skillet again over medium-high heat. Cook the pork chops in batches in the hot drippings until evenly browned on both sides. Use additional bacon drippings for each batch as needed. Remove the pork chops to a cutting board and blot excess fat off the surface of the chops with a paper towel; cut into bite-sized cubes and stir into the bacon mixture.
• Heat a small amount of the bacon drippings in the skillet; cook and stir the bell pepper in the hot drippings until softened and fragrant; drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Stir the cooked pepper into the bacon mixture.
• Pour the tomatoes with liquid and beef broth into a stockpot and place the pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until the stew begins to thicken, stirring occasionally, about 90 minutes. Stir the sour cream into the stew just before serving.
• Bring a pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a rolling boil; add the egg noodles to the water and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Ladle the stew over the drained noodles to serve.

HUNGARIAN PAPRIKA SOUR CREAM PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops on both sides, then remove the browned chops to a plate.
• Add the butter to the skillet and sauté the onion slices over medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for about one additional minute. Then add the broth to the skillet and use a wooden spatula to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom.
• Add the bay leaf, paprika, and salt to the onion mixture, and then place pork chops back in the skillet. Cover tightly, and reduce the heat. Simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
• Remove the chops to a plate again and cover with aluminum foil. Remove the bay leaf from the remaining hot liquid.
• Whisk the flour and water together well, and pour them into the broth mixture. Heat the sauce to boiling, whisking constantly. Allow to reduce and thicken. Remove the skillet from the heat and let cool slightly. Stir the sour cream into the gravy mixture and return the pork chops to the sour cream sauce.

HUNGARIAN PORK AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Rub the pork all over with 2 teaspoons paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning until browned, 3 minutes. Remove to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center reaches 145 degrees F, about 18 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wipe the pot clean and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 4 minutes. Stir in the cabbage, onion, the remaining 1 teaspoon paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts slightly, about 4 minutes.
• Add the broth and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low; cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar. Increase the heat to medium high; cook until the sauce is reduced, 4 minutes. Add the herbs. Slice the pork; serve with the vegetables. Top with the sour cream and more paprika.
