Beef & Chickpea Paprikash image

I finally found some Hungarian paprika at the store, and have been sampling various paprikash recipes. Eventually, I came up with my own. This is similar to a Polish paprikash that my dad used to make. I would not call this an authentic Polish or Hungarian recipe though.

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs stewing beef, cut into chunks
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock or 1 1/2 cups water
4 teaspoons paprika (Hungarian)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup Greek yogurt or 1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Toss the beef in the flour, sea salt and pepper until well-coated.
  • Heat the butter over medium-high heat in a heavy pan or dutch oven. Add the onion and garlic, then add the beef while shaking off excess flour coating. (Set aside any leftover flour because you might need it later) Fry, stirring occasionally, until the beef has turned brown, about 5-8 minutes.
  • Add the stock/water, paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, mustard, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce the pot. Stir and bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover, and simmer for 2 hours. Stir occasionally.
  • After two hours, add the drained chickpeas and cook for a further 30 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Add the yogurt/sour cream, but be sure to temper it with a bit of the warm sauce first to make sure it does not curdle. (If your stew looks watery, you can stir the leftover flour you set aside earlier into the yogurt before adding it to the pot to thicken the sauce nicely. If not, just discard the flour and add the yogurt by itself.) Stir until the paprikash turns a dark orange color.
  • Serve over egg noodles, pasta, rice, mashed potatoes or, my favorite- fresh gnocchi.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my paprikash turned out bland. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'll try again next time, maybe with a different brand of paprika.

The beef chickpea paprikash was a bit too spicy for my taste, but that's just a personal preference. Other than that, the dish was very well-made, with tender beef, perfectly cooked chickpeas, and a flavorful sauce.

This dish was a hit with my family! The kids loved the creamy texture of the chickpeas, and the adults appreciated the rich flavor of the sauce. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of paprikash dishes, but this one caught my attention. The beef and chickpeas were cooked to perfection, and the paprika sauce had a delightful smokiness to it. Overall, a very enjoyable meal.
