This Hungarian classic is traditionally prepared with chicken, but its elegance also makes it particularly suitable for decadent veal. We love serving the veal alongside or on top of buttery egg noodles to really round out the meal. The key to a great paprikash is sweet paprika, preferably from Hungary, which is considered by many to be superior to other commercial brands. You can find sweet Hungarian paprika in gourmet stores and some supermarkets. The veal is also cooked with carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and beef broth. Fat-free sour cream and Dijon mustard are stirred in at the very end for a savory punch of flavor to help bring it all together.
