Recipes Main Courses
Though the name evokes the romance of the Puszta plains, this dish was actually created for the 1958 Brussels World Fair. Its genius is the art of saving leftovers: juicy stew meat is revitalized in a crepe, enriched with thick stew sauce and sour cream (Paprikash style). A truly substantial warm appetizer or main course.

Instructions

1 ✓

Make a thick stew: sauté chopped onion in oil, sprinkle with paprika, add diced meat, peppers, tomato, and spices. Add a little water and cook until tender.

Tip: Stew needs to cook down to a short sauce for intense flavor.
2 ✓

Once meat is tender, strain the sauce into a bowl. Finely chop or coarsely grind the meat (with veggies).

Tip: Don't blend to a paste; keep meat chunky for texture!
3 ✓

Boil the strained sauce. Whisk sour cream with flour and a ladle of hot sauce (tempering), then pour back into pot and thicken.

Tip: Tempering prevents sour cream from curdling in hot sauce.
4 ✓

Mix a few spoons of sauce into ground meat to get a juicy but moldable filling.

Tip: This makes the filling creamy and cohesive.
5 ✓

Fill crepes, tuck in ends, and roll up. Place in baking dish, drizzle with remaining sauce, and warm in 350°F (180°C) oven for 10-15 minutes.

Tip: No need to brown, just heat through.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the filling leaking?
You left too much sauce on the meat. Filling should be thick, almost dry; save sauce for the topping!
Can I use leftover stew?
