I liked this but not well enough to give it more stars. Maybe I don't like paprika? To me the paprika took over too much of the flavor. I also used the tofutti sour "cream" but I've used it as a substitute with simliar dishes with no problem. Maybe this wouldn't be traditional but I feel some garlic with the onion would help round the flavor out.

Definitely yum, and very fast. Warning - imitation sour cream (i.e. tofutti) makes it too tangy, use the real dairy stuff! I'll be playing with this recipe again, I'm getting closer to the great dishes I had in Hungary!
