Having quite a lot of venison<\/a> in the freezer, and having taken advantage of some Fruit & Veg<\/a> special which left me with lots of green and yellow bell peppers, I made P\u00f6rk\u00f6lt<\/a> (Hungarian venison stew) and Lecs\u00f3<\/a> (Hungarian vegetable stew with bell peppers). Both are heavy on the paprika, I shall have to stock up next time I’m in Hungary (which will be early August, assuming the world doesn’t again go mad before then).<\/p>\n

For the P\u00f6rk\u00f6lt, I used duck fat<\/a> instead of lard, I still had some in the freezer. Did not add marjoram because that’s unobtanium at the moment, oregano had to suffice. I also didn’t add the 2 cups of stock but used a stock cube instead, because I stuck it in the Instant Pot (pressure cooker) for 20 minutes instead of simmering for 2 hours.<\/p>\n

The Lecs\u00f3 really does compliment the P\u00f6rk\u00f6lt, so do them both. And rice. I like rice.<\/p>\n
