Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 large red bell or field peppers
2 pounds pork shoulder (butt), cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
Salt and pepper
3 to 4 tablespoons flour, plus more for dredging
3 to 4 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 large or 3 medium onions
1 or 2 fresh red Hungarian, Holland or Fresno chile peppers, chopped
3 tablespoons paprika or smoked sweet paprika
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 to 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
12 small potatoes, cut into wedges
1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
Finely chopped fresh parsley and/or dill, to garnish

Steps:

  • Char the bell peppers over an open flame or under a hot broiler until the skins are black and papery. Place in mixing bowl and cover to cool. Wipe the skins off with paper towels, and then seed the peppers. Cut into bite-size pieces and reserve for later use.
  • Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper and lightly dredge in flour. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the meat in batches and remove to a plate, adding a little additional oil when necessary. When all of the meat is browned and set aside, add the garlic, onions and chile peppers to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and add in the paprika. Reduce the heat a bit and cook to soften the vegetables, 5 to 6 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine. Add the meat and roasted peppers to the pan and stir in the stock. Cover and simmer over low flame or roast in a preheated 325 degree F oven for about 1 hour.
  • Stir in the potatoes and continue to cook until the meat and potatoes are tender, an additional 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. To serve, heat over medium heat, adding a little stock or water if the dish is too thick. Stir in the creme fraiche and serve in shallow bowls topped with parsley.

HUNGARIAN PORK GOULASH



Hungarian Pork Goulash image

We really enjoy pork, so I'm always searching for new recipes, especially those from ethnic backgrounds. Because of the sauerkraut in this goulash, my husband was hesitant to try it, but he ended up sopping up every drop with his bread. If you're like us and don't care for caraway seeds but like the flavor, grind or crush the caraway seeds.-Barbara Lundgren, New Brighton, Minnesota

PORKOLT (HUNGARIAN STEW) MADE WITH PORK



Porkolt (Hungarian Stew) Made With Pork image

A flavorful stew, Pörkölt is redolent with the fragrance of paprika and bell peppers. It has few ingredients, and is surprisingly easy to make. Save time by using boneless pork chops and cubing them after they are browned. There should be enough salt in the canned tomatoes to season the stew, but if not, add more to your taste. Use best-quality, real Hungarian paprika for best results. We prefer to serve it with noodles, but galuska (Hungarian dumplings) or rice are good, too.

Time 2h15m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 slices bacon, diced
2 large onions, diced
¼ cup Hungarian paprika
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
5 pounds boneless pork chops, trimmed
1 large yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, with liquid
⅔ cup beef broth
2 cups reduced-fat sour cream
2 (6 ounce) packages wide egg noodles

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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a combination of ground pork and ground beef.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. If you overmix it, the meatloaf will be tough.
  • Use a large loaf pan so that the meatloaf has plenty of room to expand.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a low temperature for a long time. This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Hungarian pork loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover pork, and it can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
