Hungarian Porkolt with Dill Pickles
The three classic dishes of Hungary - goulash, paprikas and porkolt - are all simple stews of diced meat and onions, but the crucial ingredient is always the world famous Hungarian paprika. The Ottoman Turks introduced the capsicum plant to Hungary in the 16th Century, though it didn’t really gain widespread popularity until the 19th Century when growers produced the paprika pepper with a consistent mild heat level and beautiful bright colour.

This is by far my favourite from the Spicery so far. The sauce is so rich and delicious, it goes perfectly with the gnocchi and pickled cucumber. Hearty comfort food at its finest.
This kit came in our Family Friendly Bundle. It is very easy to make and the flavours are warming and wonderful! Kids devoured it (12, 10, and 5). We chose new potatoes instead of the gnocchi pictured on the kit - perfect for soaking up the sauce if you slightly mash them with your fork. Love the pickles so much, we were wondering if there's any chance you'll just sell the seasoning packet for it? We're hoping for a bumper crop of home grown cucumbers this summer, and this would be a great way to use them! We'll definitely be ordering this kit again!
That's great to hear! If you send us an email, we will see what we can do about the pickles seasoning for you!
This is a very delicious recipe. It made an incredibly rich goulash, perfect with gnocchi and a dollop of sour cream. It’s a mild recipe so my child also loved it. Very quick to prepare and get into the pot, I just had to leave it simmer away!
Glad the whole family enjoyed this recipe! Plus it's great it's quick to make too!
Great dish for a cold winter evening rich deep paprika flavour which teamed well with the dill pickles. Easy to make and worth the wait as the meat was very tender. Thank you Spicery another great Easy Kit and another cuisine experienced!
Fantastic- this looks delicious and the perfect Winter warmer!
