PAC 2008 A lovely version of paprikash! Adding the chopped green pepper near the end of cooking is genius. The little bites of green pepper add a pop of flavor and texture to the creamy delicate sauce. I made the recipe using cubed boneless chicken breast, 3 garlic cloves, sweet (not hot) Hungarian paprika and 1 large tomato. The only substitution I made was to use chicken broth instead of water. Thank you for this delicious and easy recipe.

I made this in my pressure cooker, and had it on the table in less than 40 minutes. Cooking gizzards my hb picked up the night before was a last minute dinner thought, and I didn't have the time necessary to braise grizzards to tender. My cooker has a saute function so I followed the directions fairly close before popping the lid on and letting it go. I cut up and added a small can of whole plum tomatoes, and used 1/4 cup veg broth instead of water. I added the pepper to the pot before pressure as well. It thickened up beautifully with the addition of the flour and sour cream, which I added once my 25 minute pressure cycle ended. My hb asked me to add a little tobasco at the end. I served over thick, Dutch egg noodles, and it was fabulous!

This was out of this world!! We ate it all . I had to make a couple of changes which I don't normally do the first time I make a new dish. It was only that I used a can of diced tom drained, no green pepper,and 2 cups sour crem. served over homemade noodles. PLEASE TRY THIS!!!
