🇭🇺 Hungarian Sausage and Vegetable Stew (Kolbászos Zöldségragu)

---

🥘 Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant.
4. Stir in the paprika(s) and quickly add the chopped tomato or tomato paste — stir to coat the sausage and onions. (Do not burn the paprika.)
5. Add the potatoes, carrots, parsnip, and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Pour in enough broth to just cover the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 25–30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning. Simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to thicken slightly if needed.

🔥 Tip:

If you like a bit of tang, you can stir in a splash of apple cider vinegar or add a few slices of pickled pepper toward the end for extra depth.
