How To Make paprika gravy
-
Step 1Heat a heavy 5-quart stove-top casserole and add the oil (or lard) and paprika. Cook over medium heat for a moment, then add the garlic, green pepper, onion and tomatoes.
-
Step 2Simmer for a few minutes until all is tender. Add the chicken base and beef stock along with the salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
-
Step 3In a metal bowl mix the sour cream and flour together. Mix it well with a wire whip because you do not want lumps. Add a cup of the gravy from the pot and quickly stir it into the cream mixture, whipping it well.
-
Step 4Return to the heat and simmer, stirring often, for 15 minutes. Strain the gravy and discard the solids or lumps if you have any.

Step 5This recipe will make about 7 cups of gravy.
