Original recipe from Vojvodina-Serbian Paprikash with Chicken Legs

Updated: Mar 11

  • This is an original Vojvodina / Serbian stew, I usually make it differently and much richer, who don't have enough ingredients definitely can do it with this recipe. Follow recipe.

Ingredients: easy total time: 90 min. 4 servings
  • 2 kg of chicken legs

  • 1 kg of onion

  • 2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon pepper

  • 4 top full spoons of sweet ground red pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground hot peppers to taste

  • 1 Tablespoon fat

  • 1 bunch parsley

  • 130 g tortellini stuffed with meat/I have also added tortellini to this because my husband loves them ;)

Preparation:
  1. Cut the onion into cubes and fry it in the fat.

  2. Fry it over low heat, being careful not to burn it, stirring occasionally, and reducing the heat.

  3. When the onion softens and turns yellow, add the chicken legs.

  4. Add salt and pepper, add red ground paprika, enough water to cover the flesh of two fingers to be above (2 cm).

  5. It is better to pour a little more water at the beginning, it will certainly evaporate, than to burn your meat. To prevent the meat from falling apart, it is best to cook with more water, covered over low heat without stirring. Cook for about 1 hour. If you see that the paprikash/stew is very hot, make sure that the liquid does not evaporate completely and that the paprika does not burn, add water if necessary.

  6. The amount of liquid also depends on whether you like to eat the paprikash/stew, with a spoon or a fork.

  7. Depending on your taste, you can also make a more liquid stew, and immediately cook noodles or dumplings in it. The dough is always placed about 5 -7 minutes before the end of cooking!

  8. In that case, make sure that the stew does not stand for a long time so that the dough does not absorb all the softness.

  9. Finally, put the finely chopped parsley and put out the fire.

  10. Serve cooked stew with cooked pasta, potatoes, or side dish as desired.

Buon appetito!

NOTE: If you like a thicker stew, you can after cooking for about 40 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of flour and mix with a little water in one cup, add to the paprikash/stew and mix well and cook for another half an hour. You can also use chicken wings with or just small chicken drumsticks, how are you preferring.
