Paprikash on Special Today

As I have mentioned in the past, I live in Cleveland, which has a long history of housing immigrants from Eastern Europe. While the Mexican and Chinese food come nowhere close to what I experienced when I lived in Los Angeles, the goulash and pierogi are to die for.

Because of this strong influence, you see small mom and pop restaurants regularly advertise those foods. One restaurant very close to where I live has a constant reminder of their paprikash special. In the neighborhood they are known for it. It was time for me to make it at home.

A rich and flavorful dish.

This version calls for turkey in place of the much more common chicken.

I turned the cutlets into medallions.

Frying up the onions.

I just love that color.

Divine!
