Delicious Chicken stew-Paprikash without Flour or Dumplings Delicious Chicken stew-Paprikash without Flour or Dumplings Flavorful Chicken Paprikash: A Flourless Twist on a Classic Dish Since I am an excellent master of soups, stews, and goulash, I always enjoy experimenting with different variations to keep things fresh and exciting in the kitchen. My passion for these comforting dishes drives me to continually innovate, ensuring that I can offer something new while still honoring the traditional roots of each recipe. This particular stew recipe is an excellent option for those who are mindful of their dietary choices, especially for individuals who are on a weight-loss journey or those who need to limit their fat intake for health reasons. This time, I decided to craft a lighter version of a classic stew, steering clear of heavy ingredients such as dumplings and any additions of flour. Instead, I focused on utilizing a vibrant array of fresh vegetables to create a dish that is not only wholesome but also bursting with flavor. The vegetables I chose for this stew include aromatic onions, juicy tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, crunchy carrots, and crisp celery. Each of these ingredients contributes its own unique taste and texture, resulting in a delightful medley that elevates the overall dish. To achieve the desired density of the stew without resorting to traditional thickeners like flour, I cleverly incorporated cornstarch mixed with a small amount of broth. This technique allows the stew to maintain a light and airy quality while still providing a satisfying thickness that enhances the overall mouthfeel. The result is a stew that is both light on the palate and rich in flavor, making it an ideal meal for any occasion. Conclusion The preparation of this stew is straightforward, allowing the natural flavors of the vegetables to shine through. As the stew simmers, the ingredients meld together beautifully, creating a harmonious blend that is both nourishing and delicious. I encourage you to try it for yourself; you will be pleasantly surprised by how satisfying a light stew can be. With its vibrant colors and enticing aroma, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen, proving that healthy eating can be both enjoyable and fulfilling. Ingredients: simple, total time: 2h 10 min., 6-8 servings 4 + 3 Tbsp of Olive oil EVO 3 medium onions/ finely chopped 8 smaller chicken drumsticks + 4 chicken thighs about 1.3 kg total 3 fresh carrots/ thick sliced 1 large stalk of celery/ finely chopped 3 fresh bell peppers/ red, green, yellow, chopped in pieces 4 San Marzano tomatoes/ peeled and finely chopped 7 small potatoes/ cut into smaller pieces 600 ml of vegetable broth 2 tsp of red ground paprika 1/2 tsp of hot ground paprika 1 tsp of black pepper 1 tsp of salt 1 Tbsp of starch 2 Tbsp celery leaves / chopped 1 Tbsp of parsley/ finely chopped Delicious Chicken stew-Paprikash without Flour or Dumplings Preparation: Ensure all ingredients are prepared as previously outlined. In a 5-liter pot, pour in the olive oil and heat over low to moderate heat. Add the chopped onion, stir, and cover. Sauté the onion for approximately 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Preparation Chicken meat: At this stage, thoroughly wash the chicken pieces, removing any excess fat and skin. Place the chicken in a deep bowl and season with 2 teaspoons of ground pepper, 1 teaspoon of black ground pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of hot ground pepper. Add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and mix thoroughly. Continuing to cook the stew: Once the onion has softened and cooked, add the chicken meat. Cover and stew for approximately 10 minutes over low to moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Add the chopped carrots and celery stalks, mixing thoroughly for about 5-6 minutes. After this period, incorporate the chopped peppers, combine the ingredients, and cover the pot. (Do not add water!) Simmer for about 10 minutes, keeping it covered and stirring occasionally. Following this time, add the chopped tomatoes, mix well, and cover again. Cook until the tomatoes dissolve into a juice. Once the tomatoes have released their liquid and melded with the vegetables, add the chopped potatoes and cover with 450 ml of broth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, then cover the pot. Cook the stew for 1 hour on low heat, stirring occasionally. During this time, the vegetables will soften, and the meat will become tender, even falling apart. Adding starch to stew: Combine the remaining 150ml of broth with the starch. Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley and celery leaves. After one hour, incorporate the starch-broth mixture into the ingredients, stirring thoroughly, and continue cooking on low heat for an additional 10- 15 minutes. Near the end of the cooking process, add the chopped parsley and bay leaves. Turn off the heat. The stew is now ready to be served. Present it in deep plates accompanied by a slice of bread or whole meal bread; you may also include diced toasted bread if desired. Buon appetito! "May your kitchen always be filled with wonderful aromas, your table with good food and your heart with the joy of sharing" ☕❤️🌹 Delicious Chicken stew-Paprikash without Flour or Dumplings Delicious Chicken stew-Paprikash without Flour or Dumplings NOTE: For a thicker consistency, consider adding an additional tablespoon of starch. To enhance the richness of the stew, incorporate 1 to 2 roots of either green or parsley root, which will impart a remarkable flavor to the dish. Opt for larger chicken drumsticks instead of smaller ones if preferred. For a lighter alternative, substitute chicken meat with young beef that has less fat. This dish can be frozen in special containers with lids and stored for 2 to 3 months. Prior to serving, remove from the freezer one day in advance, refrigerate, and reheat in a pot. Store any remaining food in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, ensuring it is covered. Delicious Chicken stew-Paprikash without Flour or Dumplings Do you want to try something a little different?

Game Goulash Game Goulash Exploring the Richness of Game Goulash There is nothing more beautiful than a dish that is simmering slowly, while the smell of real culinary magic spreads through the house, wrapping everyone in a warm embrace of aroma and anticipation. This exquisite stew, crafted from a delightful combination of pork and venison, stands as the true embodiment of patience and rich taste, specifically designed for those days when we crave the ultimate comfort that only home-cooked meals can provide. The secret to achieving the perfect texture and depth of flavor in this dish lies not only in the quality of the ingredients but also in the time and tradition that go into its preparation. This remarkable dish brings together the best of both worlds: the lean, deeply savory depth of wild venison, which carries with it a sense of adventure and the essence of the outdoors, and the rich, tender sweetness of pork, which adds a layer of indulgence and familiarity. Bathed in a luxurious, velvety reduction of bold red wine and savory broth, the meats are allowed to cook down slowly until they reach a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness that is simply irresistible. This process is not rushed; rather, it is a gentle coaxing of flavors that develops over time, allowing the ingredients to harmonize beautifully. To elevate the dish further, a colorful medley of earthy root vegetables is introduced, including carrots, parsnips, and potatoes, each contributing their unique textures and flavors. These vegetables soak up all the incredible juices released during the cooking process, resulting in a hearty, soul-warming meal that feels both deeply traditional and wonderfully special. Whether you are looking to use up some fresh game from a recent hunt or simply wish to elevate your Sunday comfort food routine, this one-pot masterpiece is guaranteed to gather everyone around the table, creating a sense of togetherness and joy. Preparation and Ingredients The preparation begins with the meat being marinated for an essential period of 12 to 24 hours in a mixture of red wine, crushed garlic, fragrant bay leaves, and aromatic onions. This step is crucial, as it allows the game to lose its sharpness and become incredibly soft, enhancing its flavor profile. The marinade infuses the meat with rich undertones, preparing it for the next stages of cooking. Once marinated, the magic truly happens in one pot. The process starts with slowly simmering a base of finely chopped onions, sweet carrots, and crisp celery. This aromatic foundation builds a fragrant backdrop that will enhance the overall dish. After the vegetables have softened and released their natural sweetness, the marinated meat is added to the pot. The long cooking time allows the meat to absorb all the juices and flavors from the vegetables and the marinade. As the rich marinade of wine and herbs is returned to the pot, a three-hour slow simmer begins. This crucial step is where the alchemy occurs—transforming the disparate ingredients into a cohesive, thick, velvety, and unforgettable sauce that clings lovingly to the meat and vegetables. The slow cooking process facilitates the melding of flavors, resulting in a dish that is not just a meal, but an experience. Conclusion This is a dish that is not cooked in a hurry; it is created with love, patience, and a deep understanding of the art of cooking. Each ingredient plays a significant role, and every bite faithfully returns the essence of the time and care invested in its creation. The end result is a stew that is not only satisfying to the palate but also nourishing to the soul, evoking memories of family gatherings and cherished traditions around the dinner table. Ingredients: medium, total time: 3h 35 min., 6-8 servings 1.7 kg of mixed meat (boar shoulder, venison shoulder, neck ) 4-5 large onions/ finely chopped 4 cloves of garlic 3 carrots/ blended 1 celery stalk/ blended 3 Tbsp lard/or oil 3 Tbsp of tomato concentrate 400 ml of red wine/ not sweet 800 ml - 1 liter of beef broth 3 cloves 3 bay leaves 2 flat Tbsp of red ground paprika 25 g of dark chocolate 1 tsp of ground red hot pepper salt and pepper to taste Game Goulash Preparation: The preparation of this goulash requires additional time, as the meat must be marinated prior to cooking and allowed to rest for a minimum of 12 to 24 hours. Marinated meats: Dice the meat into small cubes and place it in a large pot along with the chopped meat, bay leaf, whole onion, halved garlic, and cloves. Pour red wine over the mixture. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. The longer the marination period, the more tender the meat becomes, which reduces the cooking time required. Prior to cooking, thoroughly drain and dry the meat, ensuring to reserve the marinade for use during cooking. Preparation of Goulash: Heat the fat or oil in a deep saucepan over low to moderate heat. Sauté the chopped onion in the hot oil, covering and stirring occasionally until it achieves a golden brown color. Once the onion has softened, add the blended celery and carrot, mix thoroughly, and allow the ingredients to simmer for approximately 10 minutes. Add the chopped garlic (using vegetables from the marinade if desired). As soon as the garlic becomes fragrant, incorporate the prepared meat and cook until the liquid evaporates. After this process, introduce smoked and sweet ground pepper, tomato concentrate, cloves, and dark chocolate. Pour in the remaining wine, add the marinade liquid along with the bay leaf, and cover all ingredients with broth. Simmer on low heat for about 2-3 hours with the lid on. Stir occasionally and add more broth as necessary. During this time, ensure the meat becomes tender and aromatic. If the stew lacks thickness, remove a portion of the vegetables, blend them, and return them to the pot. This stew can be served with homemade pasta, tagliatelle, gnocchi, potatoes, polenta, or puree. Buon appetito! "May your kitchen always be filled with wonderful aromas, your table with good food and your heart with the joy of sharing" ☕❤️🌹 NOTE: Base and Vegetables: Onion: The quantity of onion should match the amount of meat (1:1), providing both density and sweetness. Root Vegetables: Include finely grated or ground carrot, celery root, and parsnip root. Garlic: Add a few cloves towards the end of the vegetable stewing process. Essential Spices for Game Goulash: Fresh Bay Leaves: Use 2–3 leaves. Juniper Berries: Slightly crush 5–6 berries to neutralize the strong aroma of game meat. Ground Red Pepper: Utilize a mix of sweet and hot (or crushed) pepper for color and spiciness. Salt and Black Peppercorns: Season to taste. Optional for Balance: Add one teaspoon of plum or cranberry jam at the end of cooking to achieve a perfect sweet and sour note. Required Liquids for Simmering: Red Wine: Use approximately 200–300 ml per kilogram of quality dry red wine (e.g., Vranac or Cabernet) for deglazing and enhancing flavor. Meat Broth or Stock: Use for basting during cooking, avoiding plain water if possible. Pureed Tomatoes: Add about 100–200 ml for acidity to balance the fat. The optimal cuts of venison for stew are from the neck, shoulder, or knee. These parts are rich in connective tissue and collagen, which dissolve during slow cooking, imparting a distinctive thickness to the goulash and rendering the meat exceptionally tender and juicy. The ideal cuts of boar for stew are the shoulder and thigh. Store any remaining food covered in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days. This stew can be frozen in sealed containers for up to 2 months. Remove from the freezer a few hours before consumption. Reheat in a saucepan on the stove or in the microwave. Do you want to try something a little different?
