Paprikash

Paprikash is a dish that hails from Hungary, and its history is as colorful as the dish itself. The dish is thought to have originated in the 16th century, when Hungary was still a part of the Ottoman Empire. At that time, the Turks introduced a new spice to the region: paprika. Paprika quickly became a staple in Hungarian cuisine, and the first paprikash recipe was likely created not long after the spice's arrival.

Paprikash recipes typically call for chicken or beef that is cooked in a paprika-infused gravy. The dish is often served with egg noodles or dumplings, and it is typically garnished with sour cream.

While paprikash is now considered a Hungarian dish, its popularity has spread far beyond Hungary's borders. In the United States, for example, paprikash is often served as a comfort food, and it has become a popular dish at church potlucks and family gatherings.
