If you want to surprise your family with something tasty, I'll give you an idea, cook pork shoulder stew with mushrooms and sour cream. This is a renowned and cherished recipe in our country, especially in Transylvania.
The most famous recipe in our kitchen is the chicken stew with mushrooms and sour cream, and you can also try my best homemade beef stew recipe or the best lamb stew recipe with raisins and couscous, which are delicious. But today, I will prepare it from pork shoulder.

Ingredients
I need about one kilogram of pork; I preferred pork shoulder because these contain a little fat, giving the stew a better taste.
Next, we need one big onion, one piece of leek, one red bell pepper and 500 g of fresh mushrooms.
Preparing the Ingredients
First, I cut the pork into thin slices. Whoever wants to cut the meat into cubes, I prefer today to slice it.
I season the meat slices with sea salt and freshly ground pepper on both sides.
After I clean the onions and the leeks, I chop them.
I also cut the red bell pepper as small as possible.
The mushrooms I cleaned and sliced.
How to Make the Pork Shoulder Stew With Mushrooms and Sour Cream
Heat 100 ml of sunflower oil in a saucepan. Whoever wants and can, can use the pork lard instead of oil will be tastier.
After the oil has become hot, put the slices of meat to fry in the pan.
Fry the meat on both sides, not too much and add the onion, the leeks, and the chopped red pepper.
Season with a teaspoon of sea salt, a teaspoon of freshly ground pepper and a spoonful of sweet paprika. I also put a teaspoon of sweet pepper paste.
Once the onion, leeks, and pepper are soaked a little, put 500 ml of water and let it simmer for about half an hour until the meat softens.
Add the sliced mushrooms and boil for another 10-15 minutes.
Finishing the Pork Stew
While steaming, we prepare the thickener. Put about 300 ml of sour cream and two tablespoons of wheat flour in a bowl and mix until it has a smooth and creamy consistency.
Pull the saucepan from the fire, then slowly pour the thick over the stew, stirring constantly.
Leave to simmer for another five minutes; add a bunch of chopped green parsley, and ready; this was my pork shoulder stew with mushrooms and sour cream recipe.

Wow, this site will become my favorite. I love cooking and I like simple recipes with nice flavors like the one you present here. The mushrooms are perfectly combined with pork. I would love the same recipe with chicken. I would casually accompany it with rice or yellow pumpkin puree. What do you say; Will they be a fun combination? Great article and perfect site. Congratulations.

Thanks for your appreciation and ideas, with rice we tried and it is delicious, but the most common is with different types of pasta.

Great recipe. I am always looking for something different to cook for my family and this seems like something they will go for. It's always hard to find something that pleases everyone in my family.
Having been to eastern Europe recently, my daughter in particular liked some meals we didn't think she would embrace. Do you have a recipe for Ghoulash?
Timea says
Yes Peter, as a coincidence, I replied later because I was just at a "gulyas" festival in Nottingham, next week we will present a tasty recipe.

This looks like a nourishing and very tasty recipe. Having recently visited Hungary I am very interested to try out the cuisine of Transylvania now I am at home. I especially like the way that you have prepared and cooked the mushrooms. The whole thing looks absolutely delicious and I can't wait to try it. Lots more interesting recipes on your site - really glad to have found it, and thank you for sharing.

I am salivating already. I have heard before that mushrooms are edible for eating but I have never given it a try. I am surely missing a lot. Now I will have to do this at home exactly the way you have explained it. Wait a minute. I still don't know a local market where I can buy them here or I just might go into the farmland to source for them myself.
Thanks.
