Hungarian Pan-Cooked Potatoes with Paprika are a simple Hungarian dish turned plant-based with a few simple tweaks. This quick and easy side takes only 25 minutes!
Potatoes are a staple in any plant-based diet. They are also a staple in a traditional Hungarian diet. I've been having fun exploring the world of Hungarian cooking and it's great when there's crossover between Hungarian cuisine and plant-based cooking.
Traditionally, Hungarian Pan-Cooked Potatoes are served with some sort of sausage... not so plant-based. I used tempeh to replace the sausage - it has a great texture that resembles little chunks of sausage.
As with most Hungarian recipes, paprika is the primary spice. It tastes so delicious with potatoes and it is the perfect spice to flavor the tempeh sausage.
Serve these potatoes with some gherkins or dill pickles for a fresh crunch and you've got a hearty and tasty dish!
Step 1. Crumble the block of tempeh into small sausage-like chunks. In a medium bowl, soak the tempeh crumbles in the liquid aminos and liquid smoke.
Step 2. Chop the potatoes into chunks and dice the green peppers.
Step 3. Add the potatoes, peppers, paprika, and salt to a frying pan.
Step 4. Turn the heat to medium-high and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes, checking the potatoes every few minutes. Add vegetable stock as necessary to prevent sticking and to create a sauce.
Step 5. Add the tempeh crumbles and any remaining liquid from the bowl. Cover and cook an additional 5 minutes to warm the tempeh.
Step 6. Remove from the heat and serve with gherkins or pickles. Enjoy!
Thank you God for this food. Help it to nourish our bodies and keep us healthy. Amen.
