Traditionally, this Hungarian classic is a slow-simmered medley of sweet peppers and tomatoes gently stewed into pure comfort. Brought straight from our HelloFresh family to yours, our speedy take uses smokey bacon and rich paprika to build that same authentic, savoury depth in a fraction of the time. Served alongside fluffy parsley potatoes to soak up the vibrant, peppery juices, it’s a rustic masterpiece that tastes just like home.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.
