  • 2 lbs button mushrooms 900 g

  • 6 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp ground pepper
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp flour

    Mushroom paprikash step 1
  • Sautée the onions in oil over medium heat until golden, for about 8-10 minutes. Lower the heat, add 4 tbsp (60 ml) water and let it simmer.
  • Cook the onions for about 30 minutes over low heat, adding 4 tbsp water at a time. (You can skip this step if you have no time, but this will create the nice and thick sauce for the onions.)
  • Take off the heat, add paprika and stir.
    Mushroom paprikash step 2
  • Add sliced mushrooms, salt and pepper, stir and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes without adding any liquid.
    Mushroom paprikash step 3
  • Mix sour cream with flour in a bowl, add 4-5 tbsp of mushroom sauce to avoid lumps.
    Mushroom paprikash step 4
  • Pour the sour cream mixture over the mushroom goulash, stir and let it cook for 2 minutes so that the flour thickens the dish.
