Rewatching Civil War, and I noticed you get a pretty good look at he recipe Vision has printed out for the paprikash he makes Wanda (Vision definitely touched that recipe with his grubby fingers).

Turns out you can find the exact recipe online! It’s from Saveur and you can follow the recipe here, in case you, too, have a sad witch whose spirits need lifting.

image

Serves 4-6

  • 1⁄4 cup lard or canola oil
  • 1 (3-4 lb.) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
  • 1 large yellow onion, minced
  • 3 tbsp. Hungarian sweet paprika, plus more for garnish
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 plum tomatoes, cored, seeded, and cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 Italian frying pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1" pieces
  • 1⁄2 cup sour cream, for serving
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Melt lard or heat oil in a 6-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook, flipping once, until browned, 8–10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; set aside. Add onion to pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 8 minutes. Add paprika; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Return chicken and its juices to the pan. Add stock, tomatoes, and Italian frying pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, until chicken is fully cooked, about 30 minutes. Transfer chicken and sauce to a serving platter; spoon sour cream over top and garnish with more paprika.
