Did you know?
- While 'paprika' is globally associated with Hungary, the plant actually originated in Central and South America and was brought to Europe by the Spanish.
- In Hungary, csirkepaprikás is traditionally served with csipetke, which are small, hand-pinched bits of dough that resemble tiny dumplings.
- In traditional Hungarian cooking, the quality of the csirkepaprikás depends on the paprika being added to the fat before the liquid, as boiling the powder directly can make the dish taste bitter.
