Hungarian Creamed Green Beans

Recipes Main Courses
A good 'főzelék' isn't a floury paste, but a concentration of vegetable flavor in a creamy coat. The soul of this dish is the balance of tart (sour cream, vinegar) and sweet (beans, paprika), completed by garlic and fresh dill. The tempering technique ensures a silky sauce.

Instructions

1 ✓

Chop onion finely, cut beans. Sauté onion in oil until translucent, add crushed garlic at the end.

Tip: Sauté garlic briefly just to release oils.
2 ✓

Remove from heat, stir in paprika, then immediately add beans and enough water to just cover. Salt and simmer covered until tender (15-20 min).

Tip: Paprika burns easily; adding water stops this.
3 ✓

Whisk sour cream, milk, and flour until smooth.

Tip: Use a whisk for no lumps.
4 ✓

Temper: whisk a ladle of hot broth into the sour cream mixture, then pour it back into the pot while stirring.

Tip: Warms the cream so it doesn't curdle.
5 ✓

Simmer 1-2 minutes to thicken. Stir in chopped dill and season with sugar/vinegar.

Tip: Add dill last for fresh flavor.
