RACHAEL RAY'S HUNGARIAN SAUSAGE AND LENTIL STOUP



Rachael Ray's Hungarian Sausage and Lentil Stoup image

From Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals, this is a great hearty meal - thicker than a soup, thinner than a stew. The ingredients are very flexible. Try sweet sausage instead of hot, split peas instead of lentils, or broccoli cuts, chard or kale instead of spinach. (In fact, the original recipe calls for kale or chard, but I can't get the computer to recognize the measurements for either!) The two pot method can be used to create a long-simmered taste in very little time, or you can just make it all in one pot and simmer a little longer. It also freezes beautifully. Serve with a hearty bread for a complete meal.

2 portabella mushrooms, gills scraped out, chopped
1 cup carrot, shredded
1 cup lentils
1 large starchy potato, peeled and chopped
salt and pepper
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons smoked paprika (or substitute a mix of 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon sweet paprika and 2 pinches cayenne pepper)

CLASSIC HUNGARIAN SAUSAGE

Provided by figaro8895

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 4 1/2 pounds, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lbs boneless pork butt, cut into large pieces
1 lb beef chuck, cut into large pieces
1 lb fresh pork fat, cut into large pieces
10 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed (about 2 Tablespoons)
1 cup water
2 tablespoons salt
1/2 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon saltpeter
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
pork sausage casing, about 10 feet, 1 inch in diameter as for Polish sausage

Steps:

  • In a meat grinder, coarsely grind the pork, beef, and pork fat, in batches. Add all the remaining ingredients except the casings. Mix well and allow to sit while you clean the casings.
  • Rinse the casings thoroughly in cold water and run fresh water through them. Drain. Using a sausage machine, a KitchenAid with a sausage attachment, or a sausage funnel, fill the casings and tie them off into about 16-inch lengths. Do not fill them too tightly as they must have room to expand when they cook.
  • Hang the sausages in a home-style smoker and smoke them for about one hour. Do not allow the temperature of the smoker to go above 150.
  • Remove the sausages and hang over a stick or dowel. Put the stick in a cool place and position an electric fan so that it will blow directly on the sausages. Allow them to dry for two days. They are ready for use. Place them in the refrigerator, where they will keep well for about a week.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1-pound bag brown lentils
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
3 bay leaves
2 cups whole-fat sour cream
3 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon salt, or as needed
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 tablespoons brown mustard, or as needed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or as needed

Steps:

  • If desired, place lentils in a bowl with water to cover, and soak overnight; this step may be skipped, but makes lentils more digestible.
  • Place a large (5- to 6-quart) saucepan over medium-low heat, and add oil and onion. Sauté until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic and paprika, and sauté until garlic is fragrant, 1 minute more. Add lentils, 8 cups water and bay leaves. Increase heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, about 50 minutes; add water as needed if mixture seems too thick.
  • When lentils are tender, in a small bowl stir together sour cream, flour and milk. Add to lentils and simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt, brown sugar, mustard and lemon juice, adjusting amounts as needed for a slightly piquant flavor. If desired, remove and discard bay leaves. Serve hot.

Hungarian Potato and Sausage Soup image

When the going gets tough, the tough make soup! There are certain recipes that comfort the body and soul in a profound way and this hearty potato and sausage soup is in that class. I think you'll agree it's one of the best things you've had in a long time. The savory flavor from smoked sausage and the earthy sweetness from onions and cabbage are balanced perfectly with a splash of vinegar and a bit of sour cream, all brought together by soft and tender potatoes--the only way this gets better is serving it with a nice hunk of buttered, crusty bread.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 ounces smoked Hungarian sausage, sliced into rounds
1 yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Hungarian paprika
5 cups chicken broth, or more to taste
2 cups chopped green cabbage
1 ½ pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
½ cup sour cream, or to taste
2 tablespoons sliced green onion, or to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add sausage and cook and stir until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove sausage to a bowl, leaving behind any butter in the pot.
  • Toss onion into the pot with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent and picks up a brown color from the meat juices in the pan, 4 to 5 minutes. Add flour; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and paprika; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn the paprika.
  • Stir in 5 cups chicken broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally so flour does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Stir in cabbage and cook until it just loses its stiffness, about 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes and bring back to a simmer. Add black pepper, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf, plus a splash of chicken broth if desired. Bring back to a simmer.
  • Stir soup and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are very soft and tender, about 30 minutes. Add sausage and vinegar and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt.
  • Remove from heat and ladle into bowls. Garnish with sour cream, green onions, and cayenne pepper.

Tips:

  • Sausage Selection: Use a high-quality Hungarian hot sausage for authentic flavor. Look for one with a deep red color and a slightly smoky aroma.
  • Lentil Soaking: Soaking the lentils overnight or for at least 4 hours will help reduce cooking time and ensure even cooking.
  • Mirepoix Preparation: Dice the onion, celery, and carrots into small, even pieces. This will allow them to cook evenly and release their flavors.
  • Spices and Herbs: Use a variety of spices and herbs to add depth of flavor to the stoup. Paprika, cumin, and caraway seeds are classic Hungarian choices.
  • Vegetable Broth: Use a high-quality vegetable broth for the best flavor. If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can use water and add a bouillon cube or two.
  • Cooking the Stoup: Bring the stoup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Seasoning: Taste the stoup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or spices to your preference.

Conclusion:

Hungarian Hot Sausage and Lentil Stoup is a hearty, flavorful, and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The combination of spicy sausage, tender lentils, and aromatic vegetables creates a delicious and satisfying meal. Serve it with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete and satisfying meal. This stoup is also a great way to use up leftover sausage and lentils, making it a budget-friendly and versatile recipe.
